Synopsis
"Fighting doubt and convention, beset with great challenge and facing profound change, Tellurith leads her displaced House to a new beginning and a different life in Iskarda - a life that includes men and women as equals. But the traditionalist Iskardans are outraged by Tellurith's policies and appalled by her love for two husbands: Alkhes - the rough, dark Outlander who brought Amberlight its doom - and golden Sarth, epitome of the urbane men of the Amberlight Towers. To achieve Tellurith's dream, both must reshape their lives. To preserve the dream, they must journey to Dhasdein's imperial capital of Riversend and face deadly menace and perilous machination."--Back cover.
