Blurb:
Three hundred years after a great war shattered
the Council of Races, the warriors of Rüddan have all but eradicated their
cousins, the faerie Aethel. In so doing, they decimated the Dryht sages and
enslaved mortal Humanity. Now a voice rises above the chaos and calls her
people to rebel. Young Sabine, one of the Human slaves, must learn to overcome
centuries of lies and prejudice to forge an alliance between four enemy races.
But what chance does she stand to overthrow the Rüddan with her dangerous
secret, a secret that threatens not only her own life but the existence of all
the races on the planet?
Excerpt:
Wiping a tear from her cheek, Sabine stood on
tiptoe again. Three guards surrounded
Mariel now, shearing away jagged clumps of her long black hair while the
captain moved to the front of the dais.
“Mariel Brockselle has been tried and found guilty of magic use and
conspiring with the Dryht. For these
treasons, she is hereby sentenced to death by the Empress of all Kirin
Roh. Let this be an example to any who
would emulate her.”
“Treason and magic use are easy to claim,” Sabine
muttered under her breath, “and almost impossible to disprove. I wonder what she really did.”
