Magic and mayhem, politics and personal sacrifice weave a sophisticated tapestry in this first in an epic fantasy series from award-winner David B. Coe. Once, the magic-wielding Qirsi fought the Eandi clans for control of the Forelands. Defeated by a traitor, the Qirsi have been uneasily absorbed into Eandi society, serving as councilors to the powerful, but they are still mistrusted. Now a Qirsi faction hopes to subvert the rules of ascension to the Eandi throne. Tavis, a young noble in line for the kingship, becomes a target of the conspiracy and finds that he must turn to an unlikely source for help--a powerful and enigmatic Qirsi who may be more than he seems.

The opening chapters take the time to develop the politics, history, and customs of the Forelands. The patient reader will be rewarded with adventure, betrayal, love, and hope set against a well-realized blend of epic events and the beginning of Tavis's personal hero-quest. --Roz Genessee

From Library Journal
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.
