Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Five years after his dream of human supremacy ended in disgrace, Eldris has become a man Stonecross would rather forget. Then a stranger named Corvin Halden offers him something he thought he had lost forever: money, influence, and another chance to reshape Atheron.Their new mining company promises steady wages and a place for every race willing to work. Humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, orcs, ogres, trolls, goblins, and hobgoblins are drawn to the Great Mountain by the prospect of a better life. But beneath Corvin's speeches about unity lies a rigid system that decides who should command, who should obey, and whose life is worth risking.At the Arcanum of Dawnfire, Archmage Mentalbus fears the operation is digging toward something that should never be disturbed. He sends Raven, Zal, and the unpredictable inventor Fizzleburn to investigate. What they find is more than an ambitious mine. Workers behave as though happiness has become another part of their contract, accidents are dismissed too easily, and the mountain itself seems determined to draw them deeper.As old prejudices return in new disguises, Eldris must decide whether he has finally found redemption or merely become the voice of another man's design.The Doctrine of Man is a fantasy adventure of conspiracy, manipulation, unlikely alliances, and the dangerous promise that everyone has a place, as long as someone else gets to choose it.
