The second book in the Chronicles of the Cheysuli continues the tale of magical warriors and shapeshifters as they battle the sorcerers that threaten their existence
For five long years, the land of Homana had been strangling in the grasp of a usurper king—its people ravaged by strife, poverty, and despair; its magical race, the Cheysuli, forced to flee or face extermination at the hands of their evil counterparts, the sorcerous Ilhini.
The time had come for Prince Carillon, Homana's rightful ruler, to return from exile with his Cheysuli liege man, free his land from the evil dominantion of the tyrant Bellam and his villainous magicians, restore the Cheysuli to their rightful position of grace, and claim his birthright.
To do this, he would not only have to raise an army, but overcome the fear and prejudice of an ignorant population and answer the call of a prophecy he never chose to serve!

“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
