Summary

Tansy - a mere laundry-maid in the Palace of Arvestel, bound by invisible ties to Lady Wanion, the terrifying witch. Skir - a young Priest-King in exile, born to rule but tormented by doubts. Perrin - a mercenary, loyal to no one, but gifted with power over animals. Three young people, each with their secret fears and dreams, thrown together by fate . . . Perrin's mission to rescue Skir from captivity in Arvestel succeeds only with help from Tansy. Narrowly eluding death, the three escape on the king's noble horses and flee for their lives, pursued by soldiers and by Wanion's sinister magic. Danger besets them as they cross three countries; enemies abound; at times they cannot even trust themselves, or each other. Somehow they must overcome their differences, master their talents, learn bitter-sweet truths about love and friendship, return Skir to his rightful kingdom, and find freedom - but at what cost? A thrilling tale of adventure and romance, inspired by the true story of the Panchen Lama who was abducted from Tibet. A vivid, exotic world, attractive characters, complex relationships, high drama, lyrical writing and themes of faith, power, oppression, racism and destiny make this a memorable read.
