Description
Does Linn possess the gift that can save the mythical lysefolk of Maether? Fantasy at its most appealing.
Linn wants nothing more than to be left in peaceâ€"but her brutish stepfather has other plans. When he demands that she convert her faith and worship the demon Rane in order to wed a local Ranite townsman, Linn dares to do the one thing she dreams of: escape. But not before receiving a whipping at her stepfather's cruel hands, an act that leaves a gash in her palm in the shape of an arrowâ€"and sets in motion Linn's destiny.
A mystifying path opens up before her, a path of bent grasses and sloping tree branches. It guides her through the landscape of Maether on a quest to find the City of Trees, home to the mythical lysefolk. . . and to a world whose future depends on Linn alone.
