The Company Of Glass: Valery Leith

Book I of Everien. Quintar was once the greatest of the Clan warriors, leading his notorious Company against the ethereal, deadly Sekk. The Sekk are only one of the mysteries left of the vanished Everien civilisation. The Everien Knowledge is another. And it seems that only knowledge will defeat the Sekk.But when Quintar tried to capture an Everien Artifact from the floating city of Jai Pendu, he lost all his Company in a battle beyond the worlds - and almost lost his mind as well. Broken and shamed, he changed his name to Tarquin the Free and fled Everien. Eighteen years later he returns with the news of a massive foreign army that threatens Everien with destruction and worse, his best friend's daughter is hell-bent on the same quest that killed her father. Unless Tarquin can face his past and assail the lost city of Jai Pendu once again, all of Everien may pay the price. Cover art by Geoff Taylor.
