The third book in the Chronicles of the Cheysuli continues a tale of magical warriors and shapeshifters as they battle the sorcerers that threaten their existence
For decades, the magical race of shapeshifters called the Cheysuli have been feared and hated exiles in their own land, a land they rightfully should rule. Victims of a vengeful monarch's war of annihilation and a usurper king's tyrannical reign, the Cheysuli clans have nearly vanished from the world.
Now, in the aftermath of the revolution which overthrew the hated tyrant, Prince Donal is being trained as the first Cheysuli in generations to assume the throne. But will he be able to overcome the prejudice of a populace afraid of his special magic and succeed in uniting the realm in its life and death battle against enemy armies and evil magicians?

“The stuff of which good fantasy is made—dauntless heroes and heroines fighting powers of evil, romance, sorcery—all made credible by the author’s skill.” —Kliatt
“The plot, with unexpected bends, knows where it’s going and keeps reader interest from flagging…. A definite cut above the average sword and sorcery novel.” —Fantasy Review
“Ms. Roberson writes in a beautifully lyrical style, with a perceptive sense of drama that enthralls the reader.” —Romantic Times
“Intricate, detailed, full of sympathetic characters and villains alike.” —S.F. Chronicle
“With every book, the magic of Jennifer Roberson waxes stronger and stronger. Wrought with an epic mysticism and power, the continuing strands of the Cheysuli saga glimmer with the sheen of excellence.” —Rave Reviews
