War has its cost, and the Servants of the Bright Heart and the Servants of the Dark Heart have been locked in a struggle that has defined life — and death — for millennia. But the end is coming, and only the Lady who has served the Bright Heart for the whole of her immortal life has seen it, in a vision that spans time and demands the highest of prices.

Erin is a healer, and against the nature of her birthright she has learned to wield a sword and use it to bring death to the enemies of her people. Scarred by the losses that war always demands, she is the chosen cham­pion of Light and the enemy of darkness.

But no magical sword or simple quest awaits Erin. Her journey and her doom like in the Dark Heart’s strong­hold, and in the hands of her people’s greatest enemy.

This reprint has a small, new intro­duction by Michelle as well.
