Synopsis

After his death on the battle field, a soldier of the Second world war, Peter Hollroyd, awakes in an unknown place, the empire of Gonvolane . Its spirit cohabits from now on with that of Ptath , the god living of this universe of which it holds also all the capacities. It is the Ineznia priestess who, thanks to her enchantments, made him lose her memory in order to charm her throne to him. But is Ptath God and, even amnesic and inhabited by a foreign entity, which méprisables terrestrial forces could be opposed to its irresistible walk to find its throne?
