Those exiles and rebels determined to bring peace to Lescar discover the true cost of war. Courage and friendships are tested to breaking point. Who will pay such heartbreaking penalties for their boldness? Who will pay the ultimate price? The dukes of Lescar aren't about to give up their wealth and power without a fight.

The third, and final, book in a major new fantasy trilogy. A few stones falling in the right place can set a landslide in motion.

Some will survive against all the odds; friends and foes alike. Hopes and alliances will be shattered beyond repair. Unforeseen consequences bring undeserved grief as well as unexpected rewards. Necessity forces uneasy compromise as well as perilous defiancé. Wreaking havoc is swift and easy. Building a lasting peace may yet prove an insuperable challenge.
