The Kingdom of Wendar is in turmoil.

King Henry still holds the crown, but his reign has long been contested by his sister Sabella.  There are many eager to flock to her banner, whether from belief in her cause or the hope of personal gain.  Internal conflict weakens Wendar's defenses, drawing raiders, human and inhuman, across its borders.  Terrifying portents abound and dark spirits walk the land in broad daylight.

Two innocents are to be thrust into the midst of the conflict  – Alain, a young man granted a vision granted by the Lady of Battles, and Liath, a young woman with the power to change the course of history.  Both must discover the truth about themselves before they can accept their fate.

For in a war where sorcery, not swords, may determine the final outcome, the price of failure may be more than their own lives.

American edition Jody Lee

"A resounding narrative . . . Elliott models her world from a thorough understanding of medieval European history, leavened with imaginative twists of perspective. . . .both satisfyingly familiar and tangily other--an indispensable technique in conjuring convincing fictional worlds that never were, but that we, whether young or young in heart, wish could be."  Publishers Weekly [starred review]   "The saga's world is exceeedingly well built (including a working economy, for instance) . . . This certainly could become one of the best multivolume fantasies--fans, take note!" Booklist "Highly recommended."    F&SF
