This is a dark tale of ancient revenge.  Zen who has defaulted on a debt, seems to be offered a way out but there are serious strings attached.  We find that he is able to cross into another reality, a horrific reality, and he finds out about his origins and the identity of his real mother.There is some good writing here; you can feel the evil in this dark world and the helplessness of those who fall under the Glamour, the Dark Seduction of Melantha.  There is good character development too.  We had the backstory of several of the protagonists which gave us reasons for what seemed otherwise like monstrous behaviour.  I felt sympathy for Verity, a woman who is sucked into this out of concern for her father.  A good, dark read!
