Book description
Though her memory remains clouded by sorcery, Imrhien (heroine of THE
ILL-MADE MUTE) must take vital news to the King-Emperor of Caermelor,
hoping also to find there the fearless ranger who has won her heart. She
assumes the identity of 'Rohain', a noblewoman visiting from the distant
Sorrow Isles, but finds the King and his rangers heading off to battle
the Unseelie hordes. Meanwhile, awaiting their return, the newcomer must
survive in a court where treachery and deceit are as deadly as any
eldritch peril.
Worse still, attacks by nightmare monsters of the Wild Hunt grow ever
more frequent and brutal, and when evil forces lay siege to the royal
sanctuary on a hidden mystic island, she realises with horror that she
herself is the real target of these onslaughts -- but has no idea why.
