City of No End

Mankind's Golden Age has come and gone. In the ruins of the greatest city ever built, primitives calling themselves nobility squabble for control of crumbling infrastructure and long-forgotten technology. A fragile peace is kept by their elected leader: the Receiver. When the reigning Receiver dies, the Elector Lords will do whatever it takes to seize power for themselves.

For the last decade, two of the most powerful Electors have stewed in impotent mutual hatred. Odham Kendar, lord of the shining towers of Hab Spire Rise. Kavin Norn, master of the labyrinthine Depths beneath the City. A battle of egos that has lasted a lifetime is about to reach its climax, and the two old men's families are drawn into their feud against their will. Odham is held back by his rebellious son and peaceable brother; Kavin by his apostate heir and shrewd daughter. The dissenters embark upon four conflicting paths to avoid a war that seems inevitable.
