BANTAM Books, 1995
ISBN:0-553-56879-5 (paperback)
From the panorama of history and legend, Paula Volsky weaves a spellbinding tale of magic,
conspiracy, and desire in the frozen land of Rhazaulle, where the living and the dead live peaceful
side by side . . . until now.
RULER OF THE LOST SOULS...Of all the excesses indulged in the decadent Rhazaullean
nobility, only one is forbidden - necromancy. It is to these black arts that Prince Varis is addicted,
hoping to usurp the World Throne. His greatest challenge comes in the person of his beautiful
niece Shalindra, grown to womanhood in the shadow of exile and dedicated to bringing her
brother Cerrov - the rightful heir - to the throne. Seized and brought to her uncle's mountain
stronghold, Shalindra is both repelled and fascinated by the mysterious Varis, master of the dead.
As winter approaches, their encounter threatens to shape for both of them a destiny far different -
and more dangerous - than either could have imagined.
