| Publisher Description: Yuvian. The jewel by the sea. The Kingdom of Kings. It is a land renowned for its shining knights, proud citizens, and beautiful cities. A beautiful land of sweeping forests and mighty rivers and tree crowned mountains. In Yuvian chivalry rules and men are made and unmade by the strength of their sword and lance. Yet beneath the glamour and veneer of civilized society it is a land torn asunder by politics and intrigue. Even as the ruling families bicker and quarrel and ply their politics the enemies of Yuvian marches forward, slow and inexorable as an incoming tide. The barbarous women warriors of Razonia strike deeply into the kingdoms of men from their forest stronghold and the King Cyric the God Touched has marshaled his forces to ride forth and meet these threats but it may very well be that the faith of Yuvian is decided by the unsought and unlikely....
