A Wraeththu Mythos novel, sequel to The Hienama. The young Wraeththu har, Gesaril, has been shamed and cast out of Jesith, after an inappropriate affair with his hienama, Ysobi. Ysobi's reputation was at stake, so Gesaril was made the scapegoat. Taken in by Huriel Har Kyme, a codexia of the famed Alba Sulh academy, Gesaril vows to begin his life anew in the Wraeththu city of learning. He is determined to put the past and its ghosts behind him, to restore his name and prove to hara he is not what Ysobi painted him to be. But sometimes the past will not lie quietly in its grave, and Gesaril soon learns he must confront the restless ghosts and fight them. Ysobi is not done with him, but no har will believe him. If he is to retain his sanity and his hard won new life, Gesaril must win this bitter war alone, with magic dark and light. This is a powerful story of obsession, betrayal and doomed love, sure to be a hit with Wraeththu fans and followers of the dark and Gothic alike.

Finally, Wraeththru as they meant to be.......,
By
This review is from: Student of Kyme (Paperback)
I was taken back to why I fell in love with Storm in the first place. I frankly found the lastest trilogy confusing and boring, with too "human" involved with the constant going on about birth and religion. Student of Kyme brought me back to the hara themselves and their struggle to be something better than the human species they replaced. I want more of this, I want my Wraeththru back.

Love's labour lost in Wraeththudom,
By
This review is from: Student of Kyme (Paperback)
We follow Gesaril from to the great library of Kyme where he would recover from the general mess that happened in Jesith (see The Hienama). We know the POV of Gesaril, as it's written in first person, and we feel the wounds in his heart, too, an heart that seeks only oblivion. But tranquillity and rest would be denied to Gesaril, who'll find himself plunged in a tangled web of ambiguity and deceit. We find here analyzed the "generation gap" in Wraeththu society between first and second generation, knew new ways to aruna and encounter a new tribe and an old acquaintance of ours from Immanion.
A gem of a novel, really, a poignant tale on the traps of love entanglements and illusions. I simply loved it!
