Review Summary
The bothers Rhomandi: The eldest, Deymorin, a natural leader and Princeps by birth. The younger, Mikhyel, a negotiator, as one with the Ley, And the youngest, Nikeanor, a peacemaker and father to the heir of the Rhomatum Rings.

Three brothers divided. An uneasy, post civil war, nation of city states. A Ley-web of living energy in tatters.

Three brothers who must now unite for the sake of Rhomatum's future; the state's future. A future inextricably linked to the creatures of the Ley in their dark, beneath the towers, caverns.

But the past has a way of shifting the odds…

Charles Smyth, Resident Scholar
