have fled and her country is overrun with enemies - Cywen fights to survive. But any chance of
escape is futile once Nathair and his disquieting advisor Calidus realize who she is. They have
no intention of letting such a prize slip from their grasp. For she may be their one chance at
killing the biggest threat to their power. Meanwhile the young warrior Corban flees from his
conquered homeland with his exiled companions heading for the only place that may offer them
sanctuary. But to get there they must travel through Cambren avoiding warbands giants and the
vicious wolven of the mountains. And all the while Corban struggles to become the man that
everyone believes him to be - the Bright Star and saviour of the Banished Lands. Embroiled in
