The Psalms of Isaak is a five-novel epic techno magic fantasy series by American author Ken Scholes.
It opens with the explosive destruction of Windwir, The Named Lands' greatest city, by the most feared magic spell known in history, The Seven Cacophonic Deaths of Xhum Y'Zir.
As the world goes through cataclysmic change with the genocide of the powerful Androfrancine Order and subsequent descent into war, the novel follows key players in the struggle to preserve the light of knowledge for present and future generations.
The world's most important city Windwir is destroyed by unknown forces using an ancient magic spell thought to have been lost.
The series grew out of a short story entitled Of Metal Men and Scarlet Thread and Dancing with the Sunrise originally printed in Realms of Fantasy August 2006.
