Third in 'The Witches Of Eileanan' series, following 'The Pool Of Two Moons'.
Lachlan the Winged now holds the Lodestar. He and Iseult have been crowned Righ and Banrigh of all Eileanan and the Far Islands, but dark times still lie ahead. The Bright Soldiers pursue their holy war, the Awl seeks to raise support for Maya's baby daughter - who it claims is the true banrigh - and Margrit of Arran continues to plot in the distant Tower of Mists.
As Iseult's twin, Isabeau, seeks her own destiny beneath the glittering eyes of the dragons, Lachlan is struck by a paralysing curse. And Iseult finds that she alone must lead the country through a terrible and bloody war . . .
