A monster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGradually, he remembers more of his past life, begins to learn again the magic talent which preserved his soul even when his body was destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, his mortal enemy begins his life anew, in the body of a young Scot called John Barnes. Ignorant of his own past, John is a petty tyrant, viciously cruel to his younger sister Sally; but otherwise harmless; until he, too, begins to remember his past, and remember his own awful magical talents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs John begins to use his still-small abilities to dominate those around him, Peter is also re-learning all that he has lost, discovering a magical talent called 'Rememberancing' which allows him to re-live his past: a life spent as a student in an Academy on what would become Sardinia. A place which would later give rise to the legend of Atlantis. John has also began to Rememberance, to relive all the sadistic episodes from his awful past; and, worse, he has begun to use his growing talent to torment his sister in a cruel echo of his former life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs each matures, their powers and influence grow, until they come together to fight for control of an empire, and through it, the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Robert Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108410474736,"sku":"2940046054255","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046054255_p0.jpg?v=1763688499","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046054255","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
