"All Ages have a living darkness. In some, it is long buried. In others, it lives and thrives. And then there is the darkness no one sees, the patient darkness that reveals itself only when all light fails."
In an Age of fallen heroes, stolen princesses, and a city prison, the world balances upon the blades of haunted men.
Behind the walls of the clergy-controlled prison city of Iban Su, Lainn Sevai endures. But after losing his father and brother, Lainn finds the determination to seek freedom, following in the footsteps of the man whose iron tutelage molded him into one of the fiercest warriors Iban Su has ever known. In the process he discovers his father's terrible secret, and uncovers the thousand year mystery as to why the prophesied End of Days never came to the world. And in that sets in motion a terrible future.
With all the edge and grit of a Gemmell novel, The Pale Hand of God is the first half of a series that will determine the fate of a world fallen to cowardice and indolence. Heroes will topple, and villains will ascend. Light will fade, and shadows prevail. This is a tale of violence and peace, of love and hatred, and of how one man's fight to save his soul could very well damn all humanity.

"They were the killers, the murderers, the burners, the thieves, the prideful, the stupid. It was they who trapped light in order to fight darkness. It was they who wept when all the world screamed."
The prison city of Iban Su has fallen, and a new power rages through the world. A power of destruction and damnation. And it is wielded by all.
A new age has come to the world, a new Age of Magic. But in the hands of an ignorant people, this grant from God is a black and terrible thing. While villages and cities burn, and men and women fight against an unknown darkness they cannot defeat, Lainn Sevai aims to fulfill a promise. Yet, how can he be this needed hero when inside him thrives an even greater darkness?
"The Dark Arm of God" is the second and concluding book to "The Paruus Histories."
