A strange looking orphan girl in a remote fishing village encounters an eccentric wizard who informs her of her true heritage, her secret power, and her exalted destiny: The desperate attempt to restore her to her birthright begins. Witches and savages are ranged against young Elgit, her sister, and their companions, along with forces of nature and creatures of terrible power - but new allies emerge as well, ready to pledge their swords and their lives to the cause of the one true heir. Discover the vast world of the Wollend marshes and the Green Isle of Scael, a beautiful and ancient land where a high civilization has been subjected to the misrule of a cruel usurper. Come to know the bravery of Honiara the she-serpent of the northern woods and the honor of Flamu, a young fisherman who becomes the gallant protector of his adoptive "red sister." Sail the Northern Sea on the Arcturus and climb to the heights of the Ossian mountains where far greater dangers than mere avalanches and blizzards are lurking. Meet the fairy-folk who inhabit the green hills and deep forests of Scael, from golden pixies to creepy satyrs and surly gnomes - and then of course the mighty mammuts. A world of strife, love, duty, betrayal, and sacrifice will open before you, and you need only step within...
