Nearly a century has passed since the Prophecy of the Firstborn was set in motion - the
generational quest to recreate the magical race which once held say in the lands ruled by
Homana's Mujar.
Now, Kellin, heir to Homana's throne, has only to sire an offspring with an Ihlini woman to reach
this goal. But Kellin wants nothing of prophecy, nor even of his own magical heritage.
Embittered by tragedy, becoming anathema in the eyes of his Cheysuli kin.
But willing participant or not, Kellin provides a very real threat to the Ihlini - the ancient enemies
of the Cheysuli people - for should the Prophecy be fulfilled, life as the Ihlini know will
end.
How can a lirless warrior ever hope to escape the taps of the Ihlini sorcerers? And how can the
Prophecy ever be realized when the man born to become its final champion shuns his destined
role?
The conclusion to Jennifer Roberson's ground-breaking dynastic fantasy.
