A stirring tale of magic, adventure, and passion. The saga of two ancient peoples, long divided by a bloody past, and the courageous young man who must save them both or die with the woman he loves.
Long ago the Kandarians seized the border forests, driving the native Durrym into the land of powerful magic that protects the Durrym from further invasion. But Kandarian priests have now mastered their own form of magic -- a magic tht can overcome the Durrym's protective spells and open their land to conquest.
For Cullyn, a young and innocent Kandarian woodsman, it means the end to a life of idyllic solitude, as Kandarian troops, Durrym spies, a noble lady, and a cruel priest all force him to choose sides in the impending conflagration. Cullyn soon comes to realize that through fate's design, he alone can stop the war. But it will mean betraying his own people, earning the trust of his Durrym enemies, and winning the heart of the woman he loves - before the coming clash of magic and mayhem destroys them all.
