Official synopsis Publisher
On the long roads of Deverry ride two mercenaries whose fates like hidden deep in that of their own land.

Meanwhile, the ancient sorcerer Nevyn, held back by his vows from boldly intervening in their lives, can only watch and wait as Rhodry and Jill move ever closer to danger.
