'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.
