Under its idyllic surface, uneasy forces stir in the land of Laurea,
rumors of war with the savage north and the assassination of a beloved
leader. Kardith, knife fighter and Ranger, joins forces with young
scholar Terricel to discover a deadly conspiracy. With her sharp steel
and his transcendent vision, they must find a way through old hatreds
and past new tyrants. But to do this, they must each confront and heal
the past -- Kardith must make her peace with the personal horror she has
buried deep within her soul, while Terricel discovers a terrible,
ancient secret which threatens not only Laurea, but the entire world.]]> Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:42:57 +0200
