It’s the 1200’s, and
the small realm of Ilari has had peace and prosperity for generations. That
doesn’t mean everyone is happy, however.
Ryalgar, a spinster
farm girl and the oldest of seven, has always preferred her studies to
flirtation, yet even she finally meets her prince. Or so she thinks, until she
discovers he’s already betrothed. Embarrassed, she flees her family’s farm to
join the Velka, the mysterious women of the forest known for their magical
powers and for living apart from men.
As a Velka, she
develops her telekinesis and learns she has a talent for analyzing information.
Both are going to come in handy. For she’s continued to meet her prince at the
forest’s edge, thinking being his mistress isn’t such a bad deal. Then she
learns more about his princely assignment. He’s tasked with training the army
of Ilari to repel the feared Mongol horseman who’ve been moving eastward for years,
killing all in their path. And, her prince is willing to sacrifice the outer
farmlands where she grew up to these invaders, if he has to.
Ryalgar isn’t about to
let that happen.
She’s got the Velka
behind her now, as well as a multitude of university intellectuals, a family of
tough farmers, and six sisters each with her own unique personality and
talents.
Can Ryalgar organize
all that into a resistance that will stop the Mongols? She thinks she can.
