Aspects

"Aspects" is the last novel by the great John M. Ford, which was never published during his lifetime. A unique fantasy story filled with politics, swords, magical firearms, ancient civilizations, and the relentless march of progress. The lost masterpiece of the master will finally find its reader. Forbidden love. Magic unleashed. Technological revolution. A monarchy facing its inevitable end. The world is changing. The country rises against the royal family, intending to destroy the monarchy and establish a republic. A delicate and dangerous task, accompanied by political intrigues in the halls of Parliament and power struggles between nobles, magicians, and reformists... to the extent that even the gods decide to intervene, favoring the old hierarchies. Against the backdrop of political upheaval unfolds the story of two lovers, separated by an unreliable new system... and a woman who tries to find the help she needs to control her own powers, but no one needs her because it is time to fight for power. A few years before his unexpected death, John M. Ford wrote a fantasy novel about magic unlike any other. Politics and abdicated kings, swords and magical machine guns, prophecies and ancient empires - all are present in this novel, which the author left without a conclusion.
