From Angus Wells comes a stirring tale of magic, adventure, and passion
as only he could imagine it — the saga of two ancient peoples, long
divided by a bloody past, and the courageous young man who must save
them both or die with the woman he loves...
Long ago the
Kandarians seized the border forests, driving the native Durrym into a
land of powerful magic that protects the Durrym from further invasion.
But Kandarian priests have now mastered their own form of magic — a
magic that can overcome the Durrym's protective spells and open their
land to conquest.
For Cullyn, a young and innocent Kandarian
woodsman, it means the end to a life of idyllic solitude, as Kandarian
troops, Durrym spies, a noble lady, and a cruel priest all force him to
choose sides in the impending conflagration. Cullyn soon comes to
realize that through fate's design, he alone can stop the war. But it
will mean betraying his own people, earning the trust of his Durrym
enemies, and winning the heart of the woman he loves — before the
coming clash of magic and mayhem destroys them all.
