"Good strong stuff with the right light touch." —Terry Pratchett

"Expands the limits of the swords and sorcery genre. Exciting, magical, intelligent." —Publishers Weekly

"The series as a whole seems destined to become one of the best in the genre." —West Coast Review of Books


A sorcerous swordsmith searches desperately for the Power that will make him whole. A prince who fled his kingdom and the throne to which he was born now seeks the courage to return and defy those who want him dead. A warrior scarred by her painful past stakes her future on the strange new life that comes to share her mind. An outcast dragon abandoned by his kind to a solitary fate is drawn into the forbidden territory of the conflicts of humankind. And a fire elemental determined to find out about the peculiarities of being human discovers far more than it ever expected. Together they will cross the Middle Kingdoms in pursuit of the single goal that binds them... discovering the danger and promise of their intertwined destinies, and changing the world.
