About this audiobook
Torn by internal strife, Wendar faces deadly raids from the north by an inhuman race, the Eika. And now terrifying portents are being seen; old ruins restored to life under the light of the full moon and peopled by the long-vanished Lost Ones; dark spirits walking the land in broad daylight. And suddenly two innocents are about to be thrust into the middle of the conflict.
Liath, who has spent her early years fleeing from unknown enemies, is a young woman with the power to change the course of history if she can only learn to master her fear and seize what is rightfully hers.
While Alain, a young man who may find his future in a vision granted by the Lady of Battles, must first unravel the mystery of who he is-whether the bastard son of a noble father, the half-breed child of an elfin lord, the unwanted get of a whore, or the heir to a proud and ancient lineage.
Liath and Alain, each trapped in a personal struggle for survival, both helplessly being drawn into a far greater battle, a war in which sorcery not swords will determine the final outcome, and the land itself may be irrevocably reshaped by the forces unleashed . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic story telling. I remember decades ago when a friend recommended this book. It was the first fantasy novel I had ever read and I couldn't believe there were more stories like it! It literally launched me into my fantasy nerd-ism path.
Adult themes, rich characters and backgrounds. Enjoy. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As always I appreciate kate Elliott. Surprised she imported so much of her religion/theology straight from the Bible and Christendom. It will be interesting to see what she does with it in the next volume
