Publisher's Synopsis
Some say that the Lord was the saviour of his Clan, others that he was its destroyer. Some say that, the line being imperilled, he himself gave birth but being as cocks' eggs these whelps were not quick. Some hold that he died in childbed and rose from his tomb within the year to rule as a shadow. A foil to these legends, the first part of the History is told by his resourceful and audacious successor. The second, 'Medjuria', is Lord Hyaena's own account of his love for an ally, the warrior lord from Orina.
