About this title

From the Back Cover:

JOURNEY INTO DANGER

Caspar travels south into Belbidia with his companions Hal and Brid – into the heart of the New Faith, the enemy of Brid's Goddess. Trailing Vaalakan spies, they seek the Druid's Egg which alone can keep the fortress of Torra Alta safe from enemy attack. But in the land of the Inquisition, all trace of ancient lore has been stamped out, including a sect of mute priestesses known as the Keepers. And without the lost runes they guarded, the Egg may never be found.

"An author who writes with intelligence, Jane Welch has made a very credible start in 'The Runes of War' ... tangible characters and an intricate plot ... a good debut. I await the second volume with interest"
BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY
