Because an oracle tells her that he must not die, Tellurith, the Head of a great ruling House, retrieves a battered outlander left for dead in the streets of the legendary city of Amberlight. Although stripped of his memory the man may know of a threat to Amberlight's unique possession: the motherlodes of the qherrique; the pearl-rock that gives the Riverworld rulers their most powerful tool. Tangled in intrigue, insurrection and brutal warfare, it takes a cataclysmic upheaval for Tellurith and the stranger to begin to understand the more-than-human mystery that first brought them together.

Fighting doubt and convention, beset with great challenge and facing profound change, Tellurith of Amberlight leads her displaced House to a new beginning and a different life in Iskarda--a life that includes men and women as equals. But the traditionalist Iskardans are outraged by Tellurith's policies and appalled by her love for two husbands: Alkhes--the rough, dark Outlander who brought Amberlight its doom--and golden Sarth, epitome of the urbane men of the Amberlight Towers. To achieve Tellurith's dream, both must re-shape their lives. All three must journey to Dhasdein's imperial capital of Riversend and face deadly menace and perilous machination before they can hope to see the dream achieved.
