Segundo libro de la serie "La caída de la torres". Jon Koshar, junto a la duquesa de Petra y Aktor, el telépata, formarán una entidad triple, temible rival para las ambiciones del Señor de las Llamas. En tanto, el joven Tel deberá partir a una guerra que no entiende y donde sólo encontrará un amigo: el fleb-flab.
Clea y Alter buscarán refugio en el circo Tritón, un oasis de paz y orden dentro de un mundo convulsionado.
La lógica implacable de Erramat, el ingenioso juego desarrollado por Clea, teje y desteje la apretada malla de la historia.
Y mientras tanto, "Jon permaneció solo en la oscuridad creciente, un actor observador fijado en una matriz de materia y motivación... Y a un universo de distancia, una mente triple show more observaba, ordenaba el conocimiento que poseía acerca de la guerra y se preparaba." show less
