The Curse on the Chosen is the gripping second installment in Ian Irvine’s The Song of the Tears trilogy. Nish is on the run from his tyrannical father, the God-Emperor, desperate to find a way to bring down his reign. But his allies are reluctant at best—Maelys resents him for past betrayals, former scrutator Xervish Flydd has lost his power, and Colm demands repayment of an impossible debt. Their only hope lies in a perilous journey to a hidden tower in the icy wilderness, where they must convince the ancient and merciless Numinator to aid them. But even if they succeed, can they trust the visions from the Pit of Possibilities? In a battle against a god, hope is their weakest weapon—and their last chance at survival.
