True darkness, she often heard Murray say, was in men′s souls.
On the world of Ranadon there is no night and both suns shine brightly. The intervention of Belagren, High Priestess of the Shadowdancers, has banished the Age of Shadows from the skies. Belagren′s position is at risk as political rivalries erupt into a deadly game.
A volcanic eruption shipwrecks a mysterious sailor on the island of Elcast. His arrival stirs up old hatreds and unravels old secrets. And brings Antonov, the powerful Lion of Senet - and fear - to the Keep of the Duke of Elcast.
A strong friendship begins to develop between Dirk, second son of the Duke, and Kirshov Latanya, second son of the Lion of Senet. But will they survive the ambitions of Antonov and Belagren?
