It is a hard road they follow.Nialla, daughter of Galron and Cyridel, is a child born of two worlds. But she grew up on the road, never staying anywhere for too long, calling "home" wherever she lays her head.
Hidden amongst the roving masses, Sackery of the Vedrethal leads Cyridel and Nialla to the ends of the world to build a more peaceful life away from war and politics. Yet, no matter how far they go, danger tracks their course.
A story pushes them on, searching for that moment of safety. Will they find it? Or will they suffer loss at the cruel hands of a distant past?
