About this series
The third volume of Storm’s original Wraeththu trilogy, expanded and updated, with chapter heading illustrations.
This final story in the trilogy is narrated by Cal, one of the most complex and mysterious of all the Wraeththu characters. Down on his luck, and haunted by his questionable past, Cal comes to realise he cannot escape his destiny, and that the har he once loved and believed dead is now ruler of all Wraeththu.
But those who control Pellaz have rivals, and one of these, the strange Opalexian of the Roselane, a race that includes bizarrely 'female' Wraeththu, draws Cal to her domain. She seeks to upset the plans of Thiede, the true ruler behind the throne of Wraeththu.
From the slums of the debased town of Fallsend, across all the fascinating territories of Jaddayoth, where many Wraeththu tribes have sprung up, to the natural stone towers of Shilalama, city of the Roselane, Cal learns much upon his journey - about himself and about his race. His choice is whether to trust Opalexian and her kind or not; she promises a reunion with Pellaz. But if a har has died and been returned to flesh once more, can he still be the person Cal once loved?

"Terror hung in the air like the foul-smelling smoke from a gutted house, where people have been burned alive inside. I could feel it. Wraeththu. I shiver to say the word. Something has happened to them. Where did they come from? How did it happen? Why is it spreading like a plague? I have seen. I have seen what they do. I have seen their faces. They always take their dead with them, always. There is a secret. Dont you understand? A secret. Wraeththu are not what they seem. They are more than they seem." Ground-breaking when they first appeared, The Wraeththu Chronicles chart the history of a new race of hermaphrodite beings who come to replace humanity on Earth. Daring, erotic and magical, these editions include ‘deleted scenes’, which have now been restored and expanded.

Book 2 of the expanded editions of Storm Constantine's ground-breaking first Wraeththu trilogy, including new appendices. Swift is a young harling, growing up among the Varrs, one of the most feared of Wraeththu tribes. When a face from the past reappears, amid a host of dire omens, Swift has to face the truth about his own kind, and make difficult decisions about what is best for their future. Escaping crimes he cannot bear to confess, the enigmatic Cal has returned to Galhea, to wreak havoc upon Swift's family. Watching helplessly, as his parents fall to warring, Cal pulling their strings effortlessly, Swift feels things can't get any worse. But then the Varrs decide to march south and confront the Gelaming threat that lurks upon the edges of their territory. Only no one in Galhea is aware of how devastating the powers of the Gelaming are - how they can warp the mind and the heart. Cal, Swift and Leef, a young har of Galhea, go south to seek the truth, following the disappearance of Swift's father Terzian's armies. What they find there is fear and manipulation, but perhaps redemption can be found there also. But not before the soul is tested to its limit.
