WHEN THE GODS WALK THE EARTH, THE WHOLE WORLD FEELS THEIR FOOTSTEPS...For countless centuries, the Gods of Heaven and the Gods of Shadow struggled for control over the hearts and minds of the mortal races. They inspired religions, started wars, sponsored rulers, and even traveled to the material plane to sire children. A treaty between them set the limits of their interference in mortal affairs, and the enchanted castle of Metamor Keep was their accorded neutral ground.Thirteen hundred years ago, the treaty was shattered. Lord Kammoloth, the King of Heaven, had fathered the Starchild, Merai hin'Dana: a half-mortal girl with the power to steal the divine essence of the gods themselves. But rather than fulfill her prophesied destiny and destroy the Gods of Shadow, Merai rejected both sides of the Pantheon, stealing their power and casting them to earth. To ensure that this power would never be abused, Merai then gave it to Lady Kyia, the spirit of Metamor Keep, to protect the mortal inhabitants she was sworn to serve.Today, Metamor has become a huge and prosperous city, and Kyia rules a vast empire with wisdom and justice. But the gods still walk the earth, pursuing their own agendas, wooing and manipulating mortals to serve their own ends.These are their stories.----Divine Intervention collects seven stories from the world of Metamor City: * Cleanup on Skyway 3* The Cuckoo* To Walk in Shadow* Divide by Zero* Missing Pieces* The Three Graces* Just CoffeeThis volume also contains the original foreword Screw Destiny: Faith and Fate in the World of Metamor, and fourteen new flash-fiction pieces.Chris Lester has delivered on all counts ... a great magic system, political and mystical power struggles, creatures galore ... fans of fantasy and science-fiction both should give this a try.-P.G. Holyfield, author of Murder at Avedon HillThe most interesting fantasy world in ages.-Scott Roche, author of The House of Phobos and Two Steps From HellThe storylines explore religion, politics, gender, orientation, family, ethics, love, and science - all in a rockin' urban fantasy setting. It's dark and delicious.-Abigail Hilton, author of The Guild of the Cowry Catchers and Hunters UnluckyMetamor City is both sexy and dangerous.-Philippa Ballantine, author of Harbinger and Kindred and WingsI listen to a lot of genre podcasts and Metamor City stands as one of the all-time best. Chris Lester's vibrant storytelling grabs you and doesn't let go until he's done with you! The character depth and rich scenery is nothing short of stunning.-Chooch Schubert, co-host of the podcasts Into the Blender and Beyond the WallDark, beautiful, moody melodrama with a ubiquitous erotic edge and always a sense of wonder. You're gonna love it.-J. Daniel Sawyer, author of And Then She Was Gone and The Resurrection Junket
