- Synopsis
- The Sleeping God is a440 page fantasy novel written by Violette Malan and first published in 2007. It is the author's second novel, and it is likely that it will become the first of a series about these mercenary partners. Because of the history of the characters, it is possible that subsequent novels may be set either earlier or later in the timeline. DAW Books describes The Sleeping God in the following words: Veterans of numerous battles, Dhulyn and Parno are partners in the Mercinary Brothers. Past life is supposed to be irrelevant once you become a Mercenary Brother, who they had been might make all the difference between success and failure in the mission that lies ahead of them. As far as she knows, Dhulyn is the last of her tribe, the only survivor of a terrible massacre when she was but a young child. Sold into slavery and rescued by a pirate, Dhulyn has learned the hardest lessons life has to teach. What she has not learned is how to master her visions, glimpses of the future that may send the duo scurrying to the rescue of children in a burning homestead, or see them embarking on a ship for a rendezvous with destiny. Parno never speaks of his past. Yet his manners and speech sometimes give him away. For Parno has been raised in more civilized lands, and obviously comes from a family of some importance. Why he's abandoned them or been cast out, he will not say, nor will Dhulyn or any Mercenary Brother ask him. After saving one of the Marked�those gifted with such powers as the ability to Find, to Mend, to Heal, to See�the two Mercenaries realize that the mob which seems bent on the Marked's destruction appears to be under the influence of a priest of the Sleeping God. Knowing Dhulyn's own gift can make them a target�and with one of her foreseeings to point them on their way�the two head off for safer climes. In search of a new assignment, the Mercenary Partners accept a seemingly simple commission escorting a young woman to distant relatives. But not even Dhulyn's visions can prepare them for the fate that awaits there when they arrive at their destination.
