Publisher's Synopsis
Courtier, explorer, thief: Leaper is a man of many skills, but none of his talents satisfy the yearning in his heart for the Queen of Airakland, the ruler of a thunder-clashed kingdom. Their affair is cut too short, however, when she is murdered. Distraught, Leaper vows revenge, but his mission will lead him away from his forest home, across the vast floodplains, and to the edges of time and myth.
