In a magic-laced land, a war between god and goddess was mirrored by a war amongst the mortals; the reconciliation of immortals brought all the benefits of the "Joyous Reunion" to the people of both the River and the Marchlands. With weapons safely hidden away and the art of warfare now forbidden, it seems that peace is assured for all eternity. But even in peace, there is peril, and the arrival of a well-trained foreign army, complete with Mages who practise the forbidden sixth magic - the magic of destruction - threatens extermination of an entire civilisation.
Kiarda, a young woman of noble lineage, was destined to be spirit-linked to a fox, sharing thought, emotion and even physical sensation. But when the cub was destroyed at the moment both it and Kiarda were being born - before the two had bonded in the normal way - its spirit had nowhere to go but into the infant girl's own body.
Now grown, Kiarda embarks with her closest companions on an odyssey into the very heart of danger, to save her land and her people from the deadly invaders. For though all the dwellers of the Marchlands are at risk, the Mages have singled out for total annihilation the magic-gifted healers and the spirit-linked, who they believe are cursed with the Abomination.
Targeted for destruction, what chance does Kiarda have?
