The Gods of the Aggregate have spoken–or so it seems. With Stephen sentenced to be executed for treason, Thaddeus, the warrior cursed by the Gods with a Blood-Rage, has only once chance to save his beloved harpist–the Rite of Innocence by Blood. He must fight Stephen’s accuser to the death to exonerate the prince in the eyes of the Alliance of Kings and the people.
In Out of Eden, Paul W. Kahn offers a philosophical meditation on the problem of evil. He uses the Genesis story of the Fall as the starting point for a profound articulation of the human condition. Kahn shows us that evil expresses the rage of a subject who knows both that he is an image of an infinite God and that he must die. Kahn’s interpretation of Genesis leads him to inquiries into a variety of modern forms of evil, including slavery, torture, and genocide.
