SORCERY. TREACHERY. LOVE. For centuries the Infernal War has been waged by
witches and sorcerers to control the Orb of Knowledge. The
war must end. Then, at Wintertide, the Hill Raiders attack
the village of Cirrus Cove.
The sea captain’s daughter is raped, and a child
conceived. “If the child is to be who the stones say she
will, it’s best I raise her. She will live with
me. ”Bronya the Healer accepts the responsibility of caring
for the unborn child.
Having read the truth in the Stones, Bronya tends the birth
and, in the midst of a maelstrom, takes the babe to her
cave. Warded now by the signs and symbols of magick,
Bronya keeps the child, Khamsin, safe from the Sorcerer.
On the eve of Khamsin’s eighteenth birthday, the Hill
Raiders, those who wreaked havoc upon her mother, come
again. They murder the inhabitants of her village, her
husband and her family. Blaming Khamsin for witchery, for
bringing the scourge down upon them, the survivors of
Cirrus Cove nearly take her life. The enigmatic Tinker,
selling pots and pans, heals Khamsin. And he accompanies
her on a journey that magick omens have directed her to
take.
One of them knows the truth. One of them is seeking, just
as she is sought. The war for the Orb is about to end. But
only love can win it.
