The Bow of Horus

In this fifth book in The Gods of Chaos series, the worship of Apep, the snake god of chaos, is rising in the high city of the north. And, after King Edgar is imprisoned beneath the stronghold, High Priest Abelard and his men of The Encircled take the cause of anarchy onto the streets. Fear and poverty stalk the city as lawlessness raises its head. In the south, however, Gallius, the warden, sets out to follow Shuma's last wish, which is to return to the city and reclaim his title. He is unaware that the streets there are in turmoil, but as the gods guide his feet, they unknowingly walk alongside.

Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky, often appears in Gallius's dreams and, counselling him to gather his strength and practice his archery skills, he instructs that the Bow of Horus lies in wait.
