Book Description
Capricorn has invited the most powerful rulers across the four corners of creation to his Court to celebrate the coming-of-age of his precious daughter. However, tensions run high and old grudges start to resurface when all signs point to a hidden agenda amongst both the host and the guests. Will the Court of Capricorn remain a garden of sanctuary and peace, or will it turn into a place of judgement and trial-by-fire? Far deep into the East, Cancer stands in her abode, contemplating the letter in her hand in the light of the dawn, the same dawn that will soon come to all. Turning to her handmaiden who is already at work on the loom at the early hour, "Come, it is time to see your father," she says to the young women who stares back blankly. Up in the North, Libra stands aloft on the balcony of her high tower. Surrounded by countless stories and books from her library, she stands intrigued, for the first time in ages,in what she just read. Speaking to herself, "My, my, my... Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to touch base with that old goat. Things have been a bit dry as of late." She lets go of the letter as it glides gently to the streets far below. Aries surveys the field of the West, savoring the sweet taste of victory of his most recent "merger. "On the horizon, a lone horseman can be seen heading in his direction, carrying some sort of message, no doubt. As with all things, the recent high of his victory was already passing, and thrills of his next exploit were beginning to swell inside him. Crumbling the letter in his fist, he drops it to the ground. "Brother, what are you planning now?" The Court of Capricorn is a play on words about the hidden magic behind language. Filled with a cast of distinguished and unforgettable characters, prepare for a story that even the stars themselves pay heed to.
