From award-winning author Tim Lebbon comes this harrowing tale of an epic journey, crossing the forbidden boundary separating us from all we fear the most…
To the unknown corners of Noreela, the Voyagers have traveled, returning with fantastic tales of their journeys and discoveries. But no one has ever returned from the Great Divide: a sheer cliff soaring miles above the clouds and rumored to be the end of the world. Until now.
Voyagers Nomi Hyden and Ramus Rheel would be mortal enemies if their lives and fates weren’t so closely entwined. But now the unlikely pair are brought together for what will be their greatest — and perhaps final — journey. When a grim wanderer named Ten arrives with an ancient parchment he claims to have brought back from the Divide, its arcane glyphs hint at the existence of a realm most consider a myth…and at something amazing sleeping there.
Accompanied by the warrior Beko and his band of armed Serians, Nomi and Ramus set out to discover the truth behind the legends. But soon ambition drives them apart, this epic Voyage becomes a race…and each Voyager is faced with a choice that may alter the history of Noreela forever.

Reviews:
“Dark and memorable…. Lebbon creates vivid and convincing major and minor characters, places, and creatures.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review.
“There are many things to commend this novel, not least of them the wealth of invention that Lebbon brings to the narrative… The imagery is superlative, and the battle scenes exciting.” – Black Static
“If Lebbon continues writing the Noreela stories to this high standard, the series could be as exciting as George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels – definitely a series to watch.” – SFX Magazine

The first and only book I have read by Tim Lebbon. It’s the only book that has gripped me and held on so tightly, I had no choice but to read on and find out what was going to happen next… in the hope that one day I would be able to put it down! – and that’s from someone who doesn’t really get into books that easily.
I read the book back in May 2009 on my Honeymoon after stumbling upon it on a bookshelf, I guess I was MEANT to read it! It’s memorable, Tim, your memorable – that’s why I’m here on this site 6 months later!
