Synopsis
A thrilling adventure set within a storm of secrecy. Tansy, Perrin, and Skir could hardly be more different - a laundry-maid, a swordsman and a young Priest-King whose countries are at war. But their frantic escape from Arvestel thrusts them together. Pursued by soldiers, haunted by the Witch-Woman's sinister magic, they ride for their lives through hostile lands. To survive they must learn to trust each other, strip away the layers of deception that surround Skir, and challenge the tyranny of the Witch-Woman. But what will happen if all truths are revealed? And will the power of the Priest-King be enough to bring peace to the Threelands?

Review
"The suspense is palpable, the landscape tactile and the characterisations, although archetypal, are credible and well drawn . . . a skillful ride through an exotic and diverting panorama of incident, song and self-discovery." "Sydney Morning Herald""
