Shadowfall — James Clemens

Four millennia have passed since the gods came to Myrillia and created the Nine Lands of peace as a haven from the nightmarish, accursed Hinterlands. In all this time, nothing has disturbed the harmony of the Nine Lands. But then the unthinkable happens: Meeryn, goddess of the Summering Isles, is murdered.

The only witness is Tylar de Noche, a crippled and disgraced former Shadowknight who lives in agonizing shame of his past. As he holds the dying goddess, her last breath bestows a powerful blessing on him--a mark that heals his broken body. A mark that many see as proof that he killed a god. A mark that unleashes a powerful force of darkness within him.

Chased across Myrillia by enemies both human and ethereal, Tylar must uncover and face down a being powerful enough to kill an immortal--the true godslayer. If he fails, all of Myrillia will fall into shadow...
