Book description
Magic and the force of destiny propelled Bridget Lederle across the
void between worlds, through the Land of Death and Spirit, to the
world of Isavalta, where she discovered secrets about herself and her
family that had been hidden since before her birth. It seems like only
yesterday that a charismatic stranger swept her from her home on the
shore of Lake Superior and took her on an impossible journey to a
strange, bejeweled world where sorcery could spring from the simplest
of patterns, with most serious effect.
In Isavalta she also discovered magical powers she had never
suspected she possessed before her transit between the worlds. More
than self-knowledge has changed her: she is in love with Sakra, a
powerful sorcerer and her staunch ally. And she learns that her
daughter, who she thought was lost to her, is alive.
But that daughter is also the pawn in a dangerous game of power and
politics. The powerful spells of a ruler intent on conquest threaten
to destroy both mother and daughter. Torn between the contending
forces of magic and empire, Bridget lives an extraordinary adventure
replete with unimaginable dangers. Beset by enemies on all sides, she
must rely on the aid of supernatural forces she can't control, lest
she be destroyed by a fate she cannot imagine.
