In this fast moving sequel to the author's immensely popular Moonshae Trilogy, the two daughters--one good, one evil--of High King Tristan Kendrick & Robyn take center stage. In the absence of her ruling parents, Allyson is sent as an envoy of the king to decide whether a sacred Moonwell is to be destroyed to allow an important mining operation on the site, little dreaming of the treachery her mission will uncover among her father's subjects. Meanwhile, younger sister Diedre strikes a strange & sinister bargain with a captivating stranger in return for undreamt-of sorcerous powers. And all the while, the peaceful Moonshae Isles are wracked by turbulent storms brought on by a vengeful god. Niles is the author or designer of over fifty titles, including the popular Moonshae & Maztica Trilogies.
