About this ebook
This remarkable first novel from award-winning short fiction writer Ken Scholes will take readers away to a new world—an Earth so far in the distant future that our time is not even a memory; a world where magick is commonplace and great areas of the planet are impassable wastes. But human nature hasn't changed through the ages: War and faith and love still move princes and nations.
In Lamentation, the first entry in the Psalm of Isaak series, an ancient weapon has completely destroyed the city of Windwir. From many miles away, Rudolfo, Lord of the Nine Forest Houses, sees the horrifying column of smoke rising. He knows that war is coming to the Named Lands.
Nearer to the Devastation, a young apprentice is the only survivor of the city—he sat waiting for his father outside the walls, and was transformed as he watched everyone he knew die in an instant.
Soon all the Kingdoms of the Named Lands will be at each others' throats, as alliances are challenged and hidden plots are uncovered.

The blending of medieval references and futuristic machines with magic and nature make this a page turner from cover to cover. The story follows the points of view of several characters, allowing an understanding and deep empathy for each character. The story itself follows the destruction of a capitol city and the aftermath of blame, political intrigue and justice. This series is a fun read!

Written as the intersecting stories of vivid and rich characters, the Psalms of Isaac are mesmerizing and almost impossible to put down.

I read it a while ago so I can't remember a lot of details but I also read the second book, which is something I don't typically do.
