City at the Edge of Time

The City at the Edge of Time centers on Nikodemos,secular adept and Tempus's warrior- monk, in his own novel. Separated from the Sacred Band of Stepsons, Niko falls in a rain of fish into the City at the Edge of Time. Only by becoming an avatar of the Storm God can Niko survive the test waiting for him. And of course, there's a young girl who's hoping to keep the Stepson for her very own. And a web of sorcery to destroy. Mythic and at times Homeric, this is one of the Sacred Band of Stepsons novels that can be read on its own, without reading any of the others. Highly recommended.
