The Temple of the Exploding Head is a science fiction/fantasy romance trilogy by Ren Garcia. In its first draft it was one 300,000 word monster, however, it has been broken to into three more manageable books of 100,000 words each. Like the first two books in the League of Elder series, TOTEH is packed with lots of stuff: lots of action, lots of romance, lots of adventure and lots of the arcane.
COMING SOON: The entire Temple of the Exploding Head Trilogy will be released as one omnibus from Hydra Publications.
Starfarers and explorers, the League settled on Kana thousands of years ago. They found it to be a paradise, a perfect, virtually uninhabited planet waiting just for them in the cradle of space.
L
ovely Kana … it was too good to be true …
But, all was not as it seemed. Simmering beneath the ground was a demented god who had soaked Kana in blood for untold ages, luring in victims, lying to them, and rejoicing in their suffering as they died at the hands of his dark angels.
And there will be blood again … From his Temple in the ground, the Horned God stirs.
When Lord Kabyl of Blanchefort, a young man troubled by the weight of the world, dares give his heart to a girl from a mysterious ancient household, one that pre-dates the League itself, he comes to know the shadows of the past that hover over her.
He comes to know of the Horned God, and for love he is destined to face him. All roads lead to the Temple of the Exploding Head, a place of evil and death, rooted in the ancient past, but also tied to the distant future.
“We were evil once,” she said, “and the gods are still punishing us…”
