Llyraien has lost everything - his home, his family, his birthright and his freedom. Now he is in exile and being hunted by the very same Council who took it all from him. He only has one anchor remaining in his life; Eona, the Mother of All. But Eona is ancient and her powers are not what they once were, and the darkness that has fallen in the citadel is threatening to destroy all of Tel''''ar. Llyraien will have to fight - not just his own demons, but for his life, his world and his Mother.
