Synopsis
The Might, the third book in the Raven Rings trilogy, finds Hirka transported into the world of the blind, an immortal and powerful civilization she was raised to fear, who now regard her as key to their return to Ym and to waging war against those they believe betrayed them centuries earlier. Torn between the people who raised her and the biological kin who now claim her as their salvation, Hirka struggles with what is expected of her against what she actually wants for herself. Her separation from Rime, the man she loves, deepens the strain, as he works desperately on the other side to keep Ym itself from collapsing, and the story sets personal loyalty and love against duty, destiny, and the looming possibility of catastrophe for both worlds.
