Elliott, Kate

Sanglant and pregnant Liath, outcasts because of their love, flee his father King Henry's camp during a turbulent period of civil war and are pulled in opposite directions: Liath by her powers of sorcery and Sanglant by the return of his Aoi mother to the mortal world.

Alain, a young man searching for his true identity, and Liath, a sheltered innocent who possesses the power to change the course of history, are drawn into the battle for control of Wendar--a war in which sorcery, not swords will determine the final outcome.
