A child with secrets A sorcerer Prince with a broken mind And a woman armed only with courage and wit ...

A child with secrets A sorcerer Prince with a broken mind And a woman armed only with courage and wit ... The idyllic world of Avonar reels under the assaults of its ancient foes, two-thirds of its territory a wasteland, its failing magic embodied in the last weak, dissolute prince of its royal bloodline. But a brash mage has taken it upon himself to repair his liege lord's soul. Unfortunately, the Prince of Avonar is left with no memory of himself, much less his homeland or his desperate war. Abandoned in her mundane world, waiting for news of the Prince's recovery, Seri keeps her promise to relay her brother's dying words to his son. But something is clearly wrong with her ten-year-old nephew. Secretive, isolated, angry, the boy shows an inordinate terror of Seri's past connections with sorcerers. Though determined not to care for a child whose life she resents, she finds herself intrigued, and when the boy is abducted by her longtime nemesis, Seri's frenzied pursuit plunges her straight into Avonar's war-and horrors she could never have imagined. All are ensnared by the Lords of Zhev'Na in their plot to destroy D'Arnath's Bridge and plunge two worlds into chaos.
Autorenporträt
Carol Berg has lived a large portion of her life in realms of mystery and adventure - Middle Earth, Camelot, Amber, Wonderland, Harry Dresden's Chicago, Jim Chee's New Mexico, Cheltenham race track and the colleges of Oxford, Cold War Berlin, the Welsh borderlands, River Heights, and Marvel's version of Hell's Kitchen. Though she earned a degree in mathematics at Rice University, in part so she wouldn't have to write papers, she took every English course that listed novels on the syllabus, just so she would have time to keep reading.Somewhere in the midst of earning a second degree in computer science at the University of Colorado, a software engineering career, and raising three sons, a friend teased her into exchanging letters written "in character." Once Carol started writing fiction, she couldn't stop.Carol's epic fantasy novels, and those written by her alter ego, Cate Glass, eighteen in all, have earned national and international acclaim, including the Geffen Award, the Prism Award, multiple Colorado Book Awards, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature. Carol lives in Colorado at the foot of the Rocky Mountains with her Exceptional Spouse, camping, hiking, biking, binge-watching good stuff, and reading.
