The epic climax to B. Catling’s precious Vorrh Trilogy. A Vintage Books Original.

In the beautiful conclusion to this endlessly imaginative saga, the youthful Afrikaner socialite Cyrena Lohr is normally mourning the death of her lover, the cyclops Ishmael, when she rekindles a relationship with famed naturalist Eugène Marais. Before departing down his very own dark route, Marais presents her with something special: an object of great power that grants or loans her visions of a new world. In the mean time, the risk of Germany’s Blitz looms over London, and only Nicholas the Erstwhile senses the risk to come. Can he be able to save the man who saved him? So that as Nazi forces descend upon Africa, will the Vorrh finally succeed in enacting its revenge against those people who have invaded and defiled it? The Cloven is a book of battles and betrayals, in which Catling’s incredible creations all fulfill their destinies and lead us to an epic conflagration using the destiny of mankind hanging in the balance.
