After joining an unlikely band of soldiers and sorcerers to
rescue the kidnapped regent Romar Brendan, the shiftling
Kirra returns home to learn that her half-sister, Casserah,
has been proclaimed heir to the land. But when Casserah
refuses to go on a social tour of great Houses, Kirra
shifts into her sister's form and makes the rounds-during
which she unexpectedly meets up with her compatriots from
her previous adventures. The motley group faces many
dangers- and Kirra places herself in peril when she falls
in love with the married Lord Romar. Revealing her true
identity to him, Kirra begins a tempestuous affair that
places them both in mortal danger, and leads them both into
the stronghold of the devious lords of the Thirteenth House.
