The Thirteenth Scroll — Rebecca Neason

WOMEN OF THE PROPHECY

Nine barons vie for the throne of Aghamore, but the sorceress Aurya believes that the secrets encoded within an ancient, enigmatic text will make her lover, Giraldus, the next High King. The prophecies in the forbidden Thirteenth Scroll of Tambryn the Heretic suggest that whoever seizes the throne must first dispose of a child it names the Font of Wisdom.

Meanwhile, in the distant Great Forest, a blind healer named Lysandra, who wields a mystic inner Sight, is suddenly beset by dark dreams. Guided by the Scroll, Lysandra and two companions find themselves compelled to seek and save the unknown child--before Aurya can plunge the kingdom into a future of unending darkness.
