Now the Righ, Lachlan the Winged, overturns his dead brotherโs decrees against witchcraft. But sixteen years of hatred and superstition have cloaked Eileanan in darkness. And though he has won the power of the Lodestar, Lachlanโs rule is challenged by a mere babeโand a civil war erupts. The flame-haired twinsโIseult the Scarred Warrior and Isabeau the apprentice-witchโmust go their separate ways. Iseult to fight side by side with her husband, Lachlan. Isabeau to the Cursed Towers, to master her powers and to find the family she has never known. One woman battling for a new reign, one woman learning the old ways, their separate threads will twist and turn into a tale of mayhem, mystery, and magic.
