Elemnakos

Upon dying in battle, sorcerer and soldier Serha Yakur expects to join the rest of his family in death. But against all his expectations, he wakes in a city that had been razed before his own birth, surrounded by younger versions of his own parents and teachers who do not recognize him. Now he must struggle with his own identity in a vision of the past, while seeking the curse that binds him to the world and trying to save who he can. This daunting task is complicated by the fact that his resurrection has drawn the attention of the gods and things just as old, who are keenly interested in a power that can defy death.   Brother, Son, Shadow is a sprawling narrative on the Resurrection of Serha Yakur, an event regarded as either a second chance for one of the geopolitical game's last and most maligned players, or a perversion of the fabric of spacetime and reality. Elemnakos is a world based on Persian and Mongolian history, and the site of a cultural clash between the centuries-old remnants of the Sultanate and the migration of foreign tribes from beyond the eastern frontier.
