'A girl thief and outlaw, impulsively enters the fray to rescue a group of strangers and receives a near fatal wound for her trouble. As her strength ebbs away, she is taken into the mysterious group and nursed back to health. Her path lies ahead with them, or back to the life of a thief. She dare not trust them with her own dark secrets, but neither do they trust her. And so begins a strained companionship and a journey that will reveal shocking truths about each of the members of this unlikely band of travellers. Suddenly pitched against their terrible secrets, Shenna finds herself at the climax of a thousand years of interracial bitterness and bloodshed. She glimpses a mystery that touches on world affairs, dangerous alliances, and a devastating bargain with an ancient and deadly foe. Neither side is able to trust, unaware that within their fragile relationship lies the only hope for a world on the brink of total destruction.' (Source: Bookseller's website)

'After a thousand years of interracial hatred and bloodshed, the races of the Lightlands finally unite in battle against their ancient foe. Together, they drive the enemy back into the Wastelands - only to owe the price of betrayal.
For their treachery, the enemy merely asks for the body of the Korzekan High One, and one man's mind to do with as he wishes. It is an inexplicable bargain, and the Lightlanders can only wait to see what the enemy will do.
As the thorns begin to tangle through the short-lived peace, Shenna finds herself tormented by her choice to forgive, and is torn between bonds of friendship and the acceptance of her people. With each new decision to do what is right, Shenna's world tears further apart, for the enemy's web is being spun around her. And he alone knows that it will be her choices that will usher in a Dark Time unlike any that has gone before'. Source: author's website (http://www.lrsaul.com/index.htm). Sighted 22/03/2011.
