The Eyes of Bel Nishani - Shackleton A. V.

In the second book of the intriguing Planet Walkers series, the archangel Duvät Gok returns to his home-world, Giahn, believing he has committed the perfect crime and is bound for wealth and glory, but in the murky underworld of the Imperial City he soon finds himself out of his depth. Meanwhile, the half-breed Casco becomes embroiled in the fight for his people’s future, and Huldar of Leth faces what may be his greatest challenge yet – his lover’s parents. While the noose around Duvät’s neck grows tighter, Faythan greed puts The Eyes of Bel Nishani at the centre of a maelstrom that sets the Realm on course for disaster.

Political intrigue, competing assassins, and romance feature strongly in a story wound around the fate of the spoils of a gruesome ecological crime committed on a fresh new world still innocent of the greed of the Imperium, but how long will that innocence survive?
