Somewhere along the line where human nature meets human imagination, myths are created. Somewhere in that space lives the spirit that created and sustains Shehaios, the Fair Land. One man embodies the gifts of the spirit. A man all too susceptible to the human flaws that lie beneath the cloak of magic. The journey of self-discovery for Kierce, heir to the Lord High Magician, and Caras, heir to the chief of Oreath, is inextricably bound up with the history of their land. The survival of their self-sufficient agrarian culture is threatened by the might of the sophisticated Empire of the Sacred Union, and neither Kierce's cunning nor Caras' courage may be enough to save the Fair Land. A story that will take you on a wonderful trip into a fantasy world and maybe reveal aspects of the real one.

Bloody war is raging through Shehaios. The violent death of the Shaihen King has compromised the power of the Magician and shattered the balance which united the land. It leaves Caras, Chief of Oreath, alone to confront the historic forces combining to destroy his heritage. As Caiivorian tribal violence drives Caras ever further into the ruthless political embrace of the Empire of the Sacred Union, the liberty he has dedicated his life to begins to fall apart around him. To preserve anything of the Shaihen spirit, Caras is forced to contemplate sacrificing everything, and everyone, he has ever loved. But Kierce the Magician has yet to play his final hand. Can he yet reclaim the Staff of Power and keep alive the dream of Shehaios? Who will be the final winners and losers in the battles between the tribes of the north and the Empire of the south? Who will inherit the Fair Land? Readers' comments on the Shaihen Heritage "…has a three-dimensional reality; it just happens not to be ours." "…an immersive story that will have you hooked and turning pages." "…excellent descriptive powers…intriguing personal and political relationships very relevant in today's real world."
