Synopsis
Lhind has lived her whole life on the run, stealing what she needs and using magic to change her appearance. She remembers little of her past, and what she does remember troubles her. Her luck ends when she is caught by Rajanas, a warrior-prince, Thianra, a bard, and Hlanan, a scribe. A powerful enemy wants all four of them dead, so they must flee pursuit while trying to learn who is hunting them and why. Lhind finds it hard to trust anyone, while Hlanan slowly uncovers her secrets and turns out to have some of his own. Friendship and a touch of romance grow along the way.
