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.

'Hunting Darkness...

'Chaeris is the hope of her family and her community, a potential Seer, child and yet companion of Amberlight's reborn mystery, the qherrique.

'Therkon is crown prince and defender of a damaged empire, seeking answers to storms that wreck trade and fling ashore refugees from the distant Archipelago. And with them, word of a menace that still has no name.

'Over land, over sea, through unexpected perils and amid unlooked-for friendship, they find themselves driven to a deadly meeting in the ruined Isles, under a darkness that threatens to destroy them -- and who can See a dawn beyond?

'"Kelso brings us more unexpected, complex character development in a world to match." -- Lois McMaster Bujold'
