This time they feasted together on the lower slopes of Hanalea to celebrate the crowning of one of their own-Raisa ana’Marianna, called Briar Rose in the high country-as queen of the Fells. Sun-weathered traders journeyed home from throughout the Seven Realms, bringing exotic goods and news from the down-realms.Įven the elders said that the only other such celebration in their lifetime was the one that marked Raisa’s mother Marianna’s wedding to Averill Demonai-the first marriage of a Gray Wolf queen to clan royalty since the Great Captivity began. Demonai warriors rode in from the wilderness, proudly painted, feathered, and braided. Some traveled all the way from the fishing camps along Invaders Bay. They came from all over the Fells-from Demonai Camp to the west, from Hunter’s Camp to the east, and from the rugged northern reaches and the river valleys near the West Wall. It was the largest gathering of the Spirit clans Raisa had ever seen. For information address Hyperion, 114 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10011-5690.

She is found by Edon Byrne, who saves her from an assassination attempt by two Tamric noblewomen. Raisa has been staying at a tavern in Fetters Ford for a month, waiting to be seen by her allies. But with danger coming at her from every direction, Raisa can only rely on her wits and her iron-hard will to survive-and even that might not be enough. She wants to believe it-he’s saved her life more than once. Her heart tells her that the thief-turned-wizard Han Alister can be trusted.
With each attempt on her life, she wonders how long it will be before her enemies succeed.
Meanwhile, some people will stop at nothing to prevent Raisa from ascending. But if Han is to fulfill his end of an old bargain, he must do everything in his power to see Raisa crowned queen. And, as far as he’s concerned, the princess’s family killed his own mother and sister. He knows he has no future with a blueblood. The costs of his efforts are steep, but nothing can prepare him for what he soon discovers: the beautiful, mysterious girl he knew as Rebecca is none other than Raisa ana'Marianna, heir to the Queendom of the Fells. But when he finds his friend Rebecca Morley near death in the Spirit Mountains, Han knows that nothing matters more than saving her. Han Alister thought he had already lost everyone he loved.
