The City of Seven Lights awaits Wyrd Fael. Here he will find his love, make new friends and enemies, here he will change from a runaway slave to become the true son of Taria, the new Master of the Paths. On the threshold of the coming difficult battle, many take the side of the awakened Ancient One; friends turn out to be traitors, and old enemies help them out of trouble. The world is changing. A storm has broken out over the City of Seven Lights, taking the lives of some, and giving others a chance to fly high. Who is the Wyrd in this storm: a leaf flying at the will of the wind, or the wind itself, which brought the thunderstorm?
