In a time of war and sorcery, Yevliesza faces the ultimate test.

One that may lead to deliverance—or the loss of all that she loves.

As war threatens her adopted land, Yevliesza has found a refuge. But it won’t last. Her enemies are closing in and mean to exploit her apparently accidental and rare power. It is a lost magic. But in the wrong hands, the worlds of the Mythos may not survive.

In the fight against the brutal Volkish, Yevliesza is called upon to use this lost power. But first she must learn how. To find her true strength, she turns to an ancient wisdom hidden in the wilderness. There she will be invited to enter a mysterious realm to seek answers and pass its tests. If she accepts the challenge, she may return with new skills in her fight against the twisted realm.

But the price for using her power may be exile from her new-found homeland and from the man she has grown to love. Can she bear to lose everything? When Yevliesza emerges from the secret kingdom, she will have the answer.

A high fantasy from acclaimed fantasy and science fiction world-builder Kay Kenyon.
