The Third Chronicle of Tarcus.
The forces of war are gathering in the North once more and so a desperate King Jeniel recalls Prince Ravian and his family from their self-imposed exile in a remote corner of Tarcus. Reluctantly, Ravian returns to the White City to find its forces woefully unready for the coming conflict. Enemies are everywhere about the prince and he has to learn to fight his political battles as well as he fights those with his sword. He also chances upon fresh clues to the mystery surrounding the long-ago Battle of the South Gate. Will he finally be able to put his suspicions to rest?
