about this book: Three hundred years ago a war was fought among the races of Ceryn Roh. In order to defeat the powerful, elven Aethel, their Rüddan cousins instigated an alliance with Humanity and the Dryht, a fey race that communed with the forests. The Aethel were overcome and driven to extinction, and magic was banished from Ceryn Roh, ensuring the safety and protection of the other races.

At least, that's what Sabine Rhyonselle, a Human healer in the village of Khapor, has always been taught. However, when she is forced to watch the Rüddan execute her closest friend, she begins to wonder how much the balance of power has shifted. She is tired of her people living as slaves to the fey Rüddan in everything but name, but the ban on magic use keeps Humanity indebted to them.

But what can one Human do? In order to find out, Sabine must overcome centuries of prejudice and lies, discover the location of a powerful talisman that can break the chains binding Humanity to the Rüddan, and forge an alliance with an extinct race. Along the way she learns a dangerous secret that could get her killed.
