Returning to the wondrous world of Sisters of
the Raven, Barbara Hambly presents a suspenseful and
adventurous new novel. Now the survival of the Yellow City
depends on a fledgling group of women who must develop their
own magic abilities—before the demons of the past return to
kill again…The laws of magic have changed—no one knows how
or why. And with that change, new perils have arisen: deadly
water-monsters from the depths of the Seven Lakes and a
plague of madness in the desert. In the strongholds of human
safety, anger and greed bloom as nobles and landchiefs fight
for power. Raeshaldis, the only woman formally trained in
the old systems of male magic, allies herself with the
beautiful concubine Summerchild to found the Circle of the
Moon—a motley group of women whose powers are unknown and
unreliable. Faced with an attempt by the landchiefs to oust
the King and with the efforts of her family to re-enslave
her, Raeshaldis must play a deadly guessing-game with
untested spells and questionable allies, while an even more
terrible threat awaits...
