Some 900 years ago, the war between the magically gifted Qirsi and the people of Eandi ended with the destruction of the most powerful Qirsi mages, called Weavers. Now a plague of assassinations threatens the ruling houses of Eibithar and the world draws closer to another war. Only an unlikely alliance between a Qirsi seer and a fugitive noble can prevent a tragic conflict that promises to unleash chaos upon the land. The author of the "Lontobyn Chronicle" (e.g., Children of Amarid) begins a new fantasy epic set in a world of rival nobles, sinister mages, and a few men and women of courage and conviction. Well-developed characters and an intriguing political background recommend this title for most fantasy collections. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
