Panel Two of The Downs-Lord Triptych
Several
hundred years after the events of Downs-Lord Dawn, the Emperor Blades
XXIII rules New Wessex and humanity has come to terms - to a degree -
with the ravening non-human killers known as the Null. Ambassadors pass
between countries and species, but the Null's bloodlust is not slaked
and Emperor Blades's line has become mindlessly debauched. And the 'angels',
who saved Blades's life on more than one occasion, seem to be falling
out amongst themselves. It may be time for the original god-king to return
and save his children...
