DEATHLESSNESS HAS CONSEQUENCES. In Chris' case, it is his allegiance to the Dawnbringers - one of the ruling houses of the ancient kindred city of Demos Geras, whose daughter he has grown to love. But there is a trader from the capital, one whose plans involve the murder of the ruling houses to plunge all of kindredkind into war.
Born to kindred nobility, Elline's life is one of duty and responsibility, and her betrothal to the Magister of Demos Geras might prove to be the saving grace in the coming chaos. But when she becomes responsible for Chris' death and life thereafter, she cannot deny her growing affections for him as well.
With imminent danger ahead, Chris must choose to either pursue his love for Elline or preserve the peace between man and kindred, while Elline must decide to fulfil her vow to the Council before her feelings for Chris cause her to forsake her birthright.
"Chan expertly brings to life the strange world of the kindred people, not only with the descriptions of the different races and political alliances, but most especially with the abilities of each of the races and how they play out in battle. With weavers that can either manipulate emotions or space and time and blade dancers that use the wind to sense the smallest detail of their surroundings, battle scenes are rife with detail and excitement." - FOREWORD REVIEWS
