Publisher's Synopsis
"Walk beside Loren of the family Nelda as she goes from simple forest girl to one of the great figures of the nine kingdoms. An ever-growing burden weighs on her shoulders, but she must learn to bear it if she hopes to stop the rise of the darkest wizard the world has ever known. New allies will join her and new enemies will hound her in her trek across kingdoms and battlefields. Through it all she knows that even a master thief may be caught in the end, but that even one mistake might spell her doom"--Page 4 of cover
