Book description
Born a half-breed to an elven mother and human father, Leesil was
raised in the Warlands as an assassin, spy, and slave for Lord Darmouth,
ruler of an independent province. But Leesil's mother trained him well,
and he used his skills to escape, leaving his parents to suffer
Darmouth's wrath for all such traitors and their kin. Now with newfound
purpose in the company of his beloved Magiere, Leesil returns to
confront the sins of his past and uncover his parents' fate. Unable to
turn him from this dangerous course, Magiere follows Leesil into the
darkness of his past in the Warlands. Knowing what may happen should
Darmouth learn of Leesil's return, she is prepared to slaughter any who
try to take him from her. But Magiere's own past may well pose a more
deadly threat. Two creatures of unfathomable power continue to stalk her
- one who believes she's the key to his salvation, and one who seeks to
destroy her ... and all those she loves. Barb and J. C. Hendee live
just south of Portland, Oregon. This is the sixth novel that they have
co-written.
