Lady Angarred Hashan was raised in exile far from Pergodi, the capital city. Angarred never knew what had caused her father's exile, she only knew that at the age of four, she was brought to Hashan House, an isolated and crumbling manor, and raised by servants. Her mother, she was told, had died. As she journeys from the crowded streets of Pergodi to the Enchanted forest, from the deadly land of the Others to the arches of the Giant's Bridge, she begins to unravel the secrets of the kingdom and her own destiny.

An alien race -the Lindauzi - believe humans may hold the key to the survival of their homeworld and species. Within a generation, the breeding of bondmates has taken a terrible toll on humanity. A young man bred to be a companion, Ilox, and his son discover that there is much more to the Lindauzi invasion than they ever imagined. NB: The book is so much better than this paltry synopsis that it beggars the imagination to picture such an overwhelming difference. For reals. I can't tell you how much you need to read this book, because I think the words for that need are in Lindauzu and without a muzzle I can't pronounce them.
