In a time of fear, the One Who I Promised will come to the raka,
bearing glory in her train and justice in her hand . . . She will
be attended by a wise one, the cunning one, the strong one, the
warrior and the crows . . . From the Kyprish Prophecy, written in
the year 200HE
The intrepid Alianne (Aly), daughter of the Tortallan spymaster
and King’s Champion, is caught up in a quest to win a wager
with the Trickster god, Kyprioth — to put a rebel queen on the
throne of the Copper Isles. In this sweeping saga by best-selling
author Tamora Pierce, Aly is caught up in a world where nothing
is what it seems. This is a powerful tale of passion and rebellion,
where gods, humans and immortals invoke magic and cause
mayhem in their struggle to dominate the throne, the heavens and
the Earth.
