The dead now rise… up. The Council has had its own way for too long. Too many souls have been lost. Too much injustice has been swallowed. The Remote districts, the rebels, the dispossessed are rising up – war is coming. Of course Carlos, half dead, memoryless and very much adrift – is in the mi...
