Description
When archaeologist Matt Carse’s curiosity turns to greed, he follows a trail into a forgotten tomb on Mars—and awakens the myth of Rhiannon, a Martian god whose power has been sealed away for ages. Drawn into a perilous journey through an ancient, half-legendary past, Carse must navigate sword-swinging battles, pirate-like rivalries, and alien super-science that refuses to stay safely in the realm of history. As the line between artifact and sorcery blurs, the story explores the cost of obsession, the seduction of forbidden knowledge, and the fragile boundary between human ambition and forces older than civilization. Leigh Brackett’s brisk, cinematic style—equal parts planetary romance and science fantasy—delivers fast action and vivid wonder in a Mars adventure that feels both mythic and startlingly immediate.
