Gil is estranged from his aristocratic family, but when his mother enlists his help in freeing a cousin sold into slavery, Gil sets out to track her down. But it soon becomes apparent that more is at stake than the fate of one young woman. Grim sorceries are awakening in the land. Some speak in whispers of the return of the Aldrain, a race of widely feared, cruel yet beautiful demons. Now Gil and two old comrades are all that stand in the way of a prophecy whose fulfillment will drown an entire world in blood. But with heroes like these, the cure is likely to be worse than the disease. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Steel Remains\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eAltered Carbon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMarket Forces\u003c\/i\u003e brings the same iconoclastic approach to his fantasy debut as he did to his sf technothrillers. . . .
