Eight days. No outside influence. And the fate of a nation hanging in the balance. Hibikitsu, the young Rimbakan emperor, has reason to rejoice—the recent mystical threat has been defeated. His people still stagnate, however, using the Relicant Touch to tap the skills of their ancestors rather than developing talents themselves. To overcome this, he declares a Saisaihyu, an eight-day period of purification—during which, no aishone may be used. Hibikitsu hopes this will wean his people off the relic bones. But Kohori and Shizumi, as captain of his household guard and commander of his elite troops, fear their enemies could exploit this vulnerability. Meanwhile, Kagiri and Noniki are discovering the challenge of settling into their new roles. Seikoku is trying to determine where she stands—and facing strange new dangers. And the beautiful but deadly Chimehara decides to finally put her plans in motion. Bones at Rest is the fourth book in the thrilling Asian-themed epic fantasy series from bestselling author Aaron Rosenberg about a land where the only magic left comes from consuming the bones of the past.

2020 Reprint of the 1957 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Howard Fast (1914-2003) was one of the most prolific American writers of the twentieth century. He was a bestselling author of more than eighty works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and screenplays. The son of immigrants, Fast grew up in New York City and published his first novel upon finishing high school in 1933. In 1950, his refusal to provide the United States Congress with a list of possible Communist associates earned him a three-month prison sentence. During his incarceration, Fast wrote one of his best-known novels, Spartacus (1951). Throughout his long career, Fast matched his commitment to championing social justice in his writing with a deft, lively storytelling style. In The Naked God the well-known author tells of his disillusionment with Communism and his subsequent break with the Party. The book is Howard Fast's public repudiation of the Communist Party, of which he was a devoted member for thirteen years until reading about the full scope of atrocities committed by the Soviet Union under Stalin. As the bestselling author of Spartacus and Citizen Tom Paine, Howard Fast lent his writing talents and celebrity to the communist cause as a steadfast advocate and public figure. However, he felt increasingly ill at ease with the superior manner Party leaders took with rank-and-file members and with rumors of Soviet anti-Semitism. In The Naked God, his first book after officially leaving the Party in 1956, Howard Fast explores the reasons he joined and his long inner struggle with a political movement in which he never felt he truly belonged.
