The Tritargon (The Emperor's Library: Book Two)
Reeks: The Emperor's Library
Frederick Kirchhoff
- The
- Tritargon,
- Book
- Two
- of
- The
- Emperor's
- Library,
- follows
- the
- separate
- lives
- of
- the
- work’s
- four
- main
- characters.
- Entering
- the
- enemy's
- camp
- to
- spread
- false
- information,
- Jon
- finds
- himself
- carried
- back
- to
- Kar
- and
- drawn
- deeply
- into
- the
- inner
- circle
- of
- The
- Chosen.
- Zoë,
- too,
- undertakes
- a
- second
- journey,
- when
- she
- joins
- the
- Emperor
- in
- his
- quest
- to
- recruit
- loyalists
- willing
- to
- fight
- for
- his
- cause.
- Klei's
- intimate
- relationship
- with
- one
- of
- the
- Rand—elusive
- remnants
- of
- an
- ancient
- race—takes
- him
- into
- their
- secret
- world
- of
- dream
- and
- fable,
- while
- Alf
- grapples
- with
- the
- challenges
- of
- building
- the
- Emperor's
- new
- capital-in-exile,
- which
- will
- become
- the
- center
- of
- resistance
- to
- The
- Chosen.
- When
- these
- friends
- finally
- meet
- again,
- their
- long-awaited
- convergence
- brings
- both
- disaster
- and
- triumph.
The
- Tritargon
- takes
- its
- name
- from
- an
- amulet
- that
- channels
- the
- ancient
- power
- of
- the
- Rand,
- a
- power
- not
- yet
- fully
- understood
- by
- those
- who
- wield
- it—even
- the
- Rand
- themselves.
- Like
- its
- predecessor,
- The
- Flight
- from
- Kar,
- the
- novel
- explores
- alternative
- sexualities
- and
- religious
- fundamentalism
- against
- a
- backdrop
- of
- intrigue
- and
- war,
- as
- rival
- forces
- struggle
- for
- power
- in
- the
- once-mighty Empire.
