If a thing is created, something must be consumed. Every change brings about another change. For every magic spell that is cast, a counterspell is also cast. Nature will always maintain that balance. If we attend to the counterspell, then the result of a spell may be the outcome we expect. Otherwise, each act of magic, no matter how small or trivial, increases the chaos of both man and beast, of forest and glade--of all that we cherish, and deem to be stable and immovable. Past ages have left remnants of their carelessness within their ruins. Erben Leaf, last Guardian of the Ruins, has taken upon his shoulders the task of preventing the careless use of magic from once again emerging as a plague upon mankind.

For more than eighty generations, two obscure societies have been at war with one another. One has worked to hide all knowledge of magic. The other has sought to exploit magical power that would enable it to unleash long-sequestered magical beings that once destroyed ancient kingdoms. A young bladesmith, Ereben Leaf, is swept into this hidden conflict when his family is inexplicably murdered-a crime for which he is blamed. With his only clue being the advice of a hated adversary to "seek out a Stump named Whittig Trench," he flees the one home he has ever known, into lands peopled by races named only in tales told to children. This journey will place at center stage his ignorance of the secrets contained within the dagger forged by his own hands and coveted by his relentless pursuers. The fate of civilization hangs in the balance.

Ternaria should not exist--not in the natural order of things. Humans cannot enter its boundaries. The Nettle River flows through the heart of the land, giving life to the inhabitants of Ternaria. Rugged mountains and undulating plains, as well as the forests and streams are the way they have always been. They are bountiful and dangerous. A playful child can be snatched away in the flick of a dragonfly's wings. And there is incessant warfare among its three races. That is also the way it has always been.

The debut fantasy adventure novel by the author of the Wars of Light and Shadow series is “a wonderful breath of fresh air. . . . Just plain fun” (Fantasy Literature). With her husband, the Duke of Trathmere, slain in battle, Elienne becomes a captive of the loathsome Prime Inquisitor of the conquering army. Her home is now a prize of war, and Elienne swept aside in the wreckage as chattel—until the Inquisitor vows to bed her as punishment for her defiance. Locked in a dank cell awaiting her fate, Elienne is visited by a sorcerer, powerful beyond her imagining. Ielond seeks a bride for his prince, a man condemned to death by a council that has deemed him unfit for succession since he cannot father an heir. When Ielond tells Elienne she is carrying her husband’s child, the recent conception offers hope to salvage the throne. To escape the Inquisitor’s cruelty, Elienne agrees to pose her son as the royal heir. But in a battle to thwart black magic and intrigue, her bold heart will remain her own, self‑reliant invention her solitary salvation as malevolent factions coalesce against her . . . Praise for Janny Wurts “Janny Wurts builds beautiful castles in the air. . . . Every detail is richly imagined and vividly rendered.” —Diana Gabaldon “Pace and fire . . . Janny Wurts writes with astonishing energy.” —Stephen R. Donaldson
