Exiles of Kho
A Tale of Lost Khokarsa
by Christopher Paul Carey
Hundreds of years before the hero Hadon sailed forth from his
shining city of gold and jewels upon his legendary adventures, the
heroine-priestess Lupoeth set out upon the decree of the oracle to
discover a new land upon the untamed shores of ancient Africa’s southern
sea. But Lupoeth finds herself little prepared for the trials ahead, as
well as those that follow upon her heels—for the jealous queen
who wants her rival banished has appointed a worshiper of the sun god
with a criminal past as the expedition’s priest, hoping to undermine the
mission and seal its doom.
Now, lost in the deep jungle, Lupoeth must fight to keep her
ill-equipped band of followers alive in the face of deadly beasts,
savage Neanderthals, and conspiring enemies. Soon she finds the most
accursed deity of her people’s faith, exiled from the empire by the
Great Goddess Kho Herself, may be her only ally in this wild
land. But Sahhindar, the god of Time and bronze, has a mysterious agenda
of his own—one that Lupoeth fears might spell doom not only for her
expedition, but for the entire world…
