For generations, the Somber Riders have ruled the Calae lands. But this spring brings more than green buds, crying lambs, and sparkling burns. It brings new promise.

Destiny, that bold weaver, is pulling together three shining strands: A bheancora by blood, whose Rune Blade thirsts for justice; a brash young sovereign whose heart seeks vengeance; and a renegade Somber Rider, touched with Tyadda magic, who remembers a long-forgotten dream.

Ann Marston has worked as a teacher, a flight instructor, an airline pilot, airport manager and literacy coordinator, and several other odd and assorted careers in between. While maintaining this weird schedule, she has also been writing most of her adult life.Together with her friend Barb Galler-Smith, she teaches writing fantasy at Grant McEwan University in Edmonton, and mentors up-and-coming writers in a writers' group that grew out of the writing classes. She lives in Edmonton with her daughter and their floppy eared dog.
