TETRARCH
Written by Ian Irvine
Tetrarch is the second in a four book series known as “The well of echoes” created by famous author Ian Irvine. It is the story of Xervish Flydd; a disgraced Scrutator, Tiaan; A wrongly accused artisan formerly owned by her indenture to a war machine factory. Also a protagonist in this story is Cryll-Nish Hlar and Irisis Sturm, who also worked in the factory and are now on the run from the law.
The story follows these separate people’s story as they live out their life trying to defeat the war against an invading race known as the Lyrinx; huge humanoid creatures with bird-like features. The war has been going on for over two hundred years and the story follows the footsteps of these people in their bid to defeat the invading aliens.
Tiaan is an artisan working off her indenture to get back her freedom. She was born in a breeding factory and longs to find out her true identity. She is wrongly accused of insanity after being tricked into drinking poison and is now on the run from the law. Xervish Flydd is a disgraced scrutator who is trying to recover his honour. He is something along the lines of a war minister and currently, was he not disgraced, carries the second highest rank that is available in this time. He, as well as Tiaan and Irisis hold a trace of the art, a magical force that is manipulated from the forces of nature.
Irisis Sturm like Tiaan is an artisan working off her indenture, although slightly Tiaan’s junior she believes she will rise above Tiaan’s rank as master artisan and become “Crafter”. She holds little of the art and is now worried if she has completely lost her ability to control crystals and bend them to her will. Her partner in crime is the son of a man who holds the most powerful position in the time. Nish as he is more commonly known as is a very low rank in the chain belonging to the Artificer branch. He is also an undercover spy more commonly known as a “Prober” along with another man that flies under everyone’s radar including Nish’s and even the Overseer himself.
This book is the second in a line of books called “The well of echoes’. It is followed by “Scrutator” which will follow into more detail of the former scrutators life and “Chimera” which ends the series and brings forth another horror that has been directed created from the destruction of the secret art. This series is also followed by another series known as “The song of the tears’ which will follow entirely Nish’s life as he struggles to fight the world.
