LONGEYE
Hidden from the human-inhabited world by the inimical magical device
known as the keleigh, the Vaitura has become a subtle battleground where
the once all-powerful Elder Fey strive against each other and the
upstart Queen to regain ascendancy. Of all the Elder Fey it is Altimere
who is strongest in magical kest and Altimere who is most devious.
Pitted against Zaldore and her group seeking to manipulate the convalescing Ranger known as Longeye to foil the Queen and rule the
world, Altimere dares to utilize the untested powers of half-human,
half-Fey Rebecca Beauvally, recognized by the elemental denizens of the
Vaitura as The Gardener.
Now all plans must be rewritten:
Becca breaks Altimere's capricious dominion with the dangerous herbal
help of Duainfey, but, weakened by the effort, is held against her will
in service to the Queen by Meripen's mysterious sea-lord cousin, Sian.
Becca must escape the Queen's retainers to regain control of her own
fate. With the magics of the Vaitura, and Altimere's retribution arrayed
against her, she escapes with only her horse, a mad forest-living
Brethren, and her freed magical servant Nancy at her side. Worse, the
recovered legendary hero Longeye, long beloved of the Vaitura's forest
folk and creatures, has re-armed at Sian's
bidding, and knows most of all about Becca that she is both dangerous,
and of the same folk who cruelly tortured him and slew his lover before
his eyes.
