Troubled. Gifted. Unpredictable. Hunted.
To save us all, I have led my friends into The Wilds, a place about which little is known for certain and none of it good. However, I need answers and those, at least, are possible here.
I could be fooling myself. I know I could be. Yet, my friends trust me. They are counting on me to keep them safe.
Will I be able to live with myself if they're wrong?
Grace, teenage warrior, Duncan, former Grif-Drif, and their companions-the mystic and the doctor's thieving son-might easily be described in those terms, but none more so than the recently rescued Resa, Duncan's sister. Fleeing a tyrannical warlord, Grace leads her friends into The Wilds, a province devastated by long ago violence where the inhabitants are reputed to be fierce and intolerant. Yet, Grace hopes to find much needed answers from the mage descendants who might be residing there. Duncan and the others desire only a place to rest and regroup, safe from the violent man and his soldiers hunting them down. But as grandmother-quoting Duncan likes to say, "out of the frying pan, into the fire," an adage that will prove more prophetic than any of them expect.
