{"product_id":"9780575120419","title":"Ancients of Days: Confluence Book 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn an artificial world created and seeded with ten thousand  bloodlines by the long-vanished Preservers, young Yama's ancestry is  unique, for he appears to be the last remaining scion of the Builders,  closest of all races to the worshipped architects of Confluence.  And on  a day near the end of the world, Yama must finally acknowledge the  power he neither anticipated nor desires.    \u003cbr\u003eIn the dust of many  crumbling bureaucracies, Yama searches for an identity and a  history - awed and fearful of his ever-growing capacity to awaken the  terrible machines of destruction that his world's absent gods left  slumbering.  To the common folk - the unshaped and aboriginal - he is the  fulfillment of age-old prophecies.  To the functionaries of the  Department of Indigenous Affairs, he is a weapon to be molded and used  in the bloody civil war raging at the planet's midpoint - a seemingly  endless battle that pits those who revere the Preservers' laws against  the dangerous Heretics who would obliterate all antiquated values and  codes of conduct.    \u003cbr\u003eBut there are still others who have taken  notice of Yama as he pursues the hidden secrets of his past.   Intelligent powers older than the Builders - as old, perhaps, as the  Preservers themselves - are pursuing Yama in turn. And they will stop at  nothing to control his present-and, as a result, the future of  everything that lives-in anticipation of the ultimate triumph of the  Ancients of Days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion Publishing Group, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107608641776,"sku":"9780575120419","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780575120419_p0.jpg?v=1763720376","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780575120419","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
