Acair of Ceangail, youngest bastard son of the worst black mage in history, has followed in his father's footsteps, wreaking havoc throughout the world and leaving powerful enemies in his wake. After a year of reparation, he owes a final bit of penance: twelve months spent working in a barn without using his magic. Lirsinn of Sraichte understands horses, stable work, and how to judge men's hearts. When she starts seeing shadows where there should only be light, she knows there is evil afoot. Unfortunately, it's something she can't fight on her own. Acair's attempts to aid Lirsinn only draw the notice of dangerous mages against whom he is currently defenseless. With only each other to rely on, Acair and Lirsinn find themselves suddenly in a race to save the world before it's consumed by darkness...
