Cursed by a Demigod, the Mortals of Duronyk are now Faeries. Eirian, the only Faery child not forced into the void, is their only salvation. Twenty seasons after the curse, this reluctant heroine must make her way through daunting odds and harsh lessons to breakthe spell.Warlord Broan has neither the time nor inclination to listen to Eirian, who he views as an irritant and burden. But together they must overcome dark magic and fierce battles, as well as obstacles they unwittingly create for themselves. Only if their two races, Faery and Mortal, join together will they have any hope to win the battle long foretold.
