Echoes Of The Great Song
Widely regarded as the finest writer… More about David Gemmell. Epic Fantasy Science Fiction Category: The group calls themselves the Pajists - a group set out to see the fall of the Avatar. The Pajists are a group of assassins who are headed by a Vagar woman known as Mejana.
Mejana is motivated to bring down the Avatar Empire by the killing of her daughter, who disobeyed the race laws by falling in love with an Avatar. She was crystal-drawn, meaning that her life force was sucked out of her and into the crystals of the Avatar, which grant them immortality.

They learn of the Avatars, and their fragile position in the world.
Thinking the Avatars will realize the obvious, they sail to the new capitol city, Egaru, where they are greeted courteously by the Avatar rulers. They give a blunt message: The Avatar council decides to fight, as they believe the war is winnable. Using the power of the Sunfire, a giant laser beam, they sink several Almec ships and force them off. The treasures of the other cities, power chests and the remaining Avatars, are called back to Egaru, which the Avatar council claims is easier to defend.
From now on, the Avatar leadership moves fast.
