Book Description
Maurey has always been persecuted for the colour of his skin
and eyes. He has never known more about his parents than that his mother
died the day he was born. When the king's chancellor discovers that Maurey
possesses a ring belonging to the missing queen and another that may be the
key to finding the hidden kingdom of the inhuman warlocks of Talverdin, he
is imprisoned, revealed as a Nightwalker, and sentenced to execution in
philosopher's fire. Rescued by a young baroness with her own reasons for
fearing the chancellor, Maurey sets out on a dangerous journey to the land
of his father's people. If he and Annot are to survive and prevent the
destruction of the last refuge of the Nightwalkers, Maurey will have to
call on human and inhuman skills he never knew he possessed, and win the
trust of both sides of his family.
