| Summary: |
Tova was a child when she was discovered washed ashore in a half-burned boat by the Svell clan. The sacred symbols and staves inked over every inch of her skin mark her not only as a member of the Kyrr, but as a Truthtongue. The Svell believe her cursed, forsaken by her own people. But Tova's ability to cast the rune stones and interpret the web of fate woven by the Spinners makes her valuable. Until the day she foresees the Svell destruction, compelling them to wage war. Across the valley, the rival Aska and Riki clans have lived peacefully for more than ten years as a new people -- the Nadhir. But when Svell raiders attack and a village's inhabitants are slaughtered, Halvard believes there might be a way to avoid war. Chosen to be the Nadhir's next chieftain, he convinces his elders to negotiate with the Svell before more blood is spilled. His hope for a truce is shattered when the Nadhir are deceived by their enemy and ambushed without mercy. But there is more to Tova's prophecy than bloodshed. As long as Halvard lives, his people have a future. And if what Tova sees in the runes is true, her own path is interwoven with his. Now, she must find the courage to free herself from the only family she's every known in order to fulfill her own fate. |
