The Plight of a People - Part II
The Plight of a People is an epic of one people's continued journey to survive in an ancient world lush with catastrophe. It is split into three individual stories, each separated by countless generations and connected by the culture, struggles and themes they all share. Great beasts and watchful gods intervene in the many wars of the book, but their majestic influences only serve to heighten the carnage. Marvelous and terrible ambitions in both war and philosophy prevail in the minds of its main characters, and these same ambitions find themselves dictating the fate of their world. In Part II, a power-hungry emperor is thrust into a life of unimaginable hardship when the injustices of his reign come back to haunt him.
