------------------------------------------
A Return to the World of Imperial Light.
Ninian is heir to Arcady, the last matriarchal estate in Avardale and the wetlands, the heir to the secret of her home lake and theTearstone.
Quest has been her friend for life, her lover for moments. Now it looks like their love is souring under the pressure of Quest's ambition.
Kerron has never quite fitted in...an orphan picked from the shallows of the lake and tolerated by his saviours. One day they will not be able to dismiss him so readily.
Ram wants only to spread her wings, to see what lies beyond Avardale's shore, But when her chance comes to what she finds terrifies her.
Four friends united until a rite of passage in the Barren Lands, where spirit voices tell strange secrets and bring gifts that shatter lives.
Betrayal is a strong word - turns love to hatred, friends into enemies...
