Book description
The exiled Queen Ylia calls upon all of her magical powers in order to
bring together the scattered survivors of her beleaguered kingdom,
Nedao. This is the tale of the young Queen Ylia who chooses to accept
the challenges disaster can bring. She flees from the broken and
defeated city of Koderra and treks through the terrible haunted
mountains to the North. Although such a perilous journey tests all of
her strength and resources, it is not until she reveals herself in the
full tilt of battle that it is clear how the powers that are her
birthright can save her kingdom. Ru Emerson was raised in Butte
Montana (which she claims explains a lot), and after entirely too many
years in some of the seedier neighborhoods of Los Angeles, moved to
rural Oregon, where she has lived for the past 13 years with Doug (aka
'The Phantom Roommate'), several dogs, rabbits, pigeons, two cats and a
furry daughter named Roberta. She has written and sold 17 novels,
including the popular NIGHT THREADS 6-volume series, and the first three
tie-in novels based on the hit TV Series XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS. Her
novels are also currently in print in Germany, England, Spain and Italy.
When not buried in research or actively writing, Emerson can be found
running, mountain biking, gardening, weight training or flying two and
four-line stunt kites on the Oregon Coast.
