Description: For centuries the magical aristocracy of the Exalted has ruled over the land of Vonahr, exercising absolute and tyrannical control. But the Exalted's powers have been fading, generation by generation, and now only a few can replicate even the simplest of illusions - a fact that hass not escaped the notice of the populace.
Eliste, a pampered, beautiful, Marquis' daughter, has travelled to the glittering capital city of Shereen to take up her post as maid of honour to the Queen. There she firmly expects all her adolescent dreams of court life to come true.
But the hurly-burly of the city has been ripped apart by the mayhem of revolution. In its wake bloody and ancient mystical weapons of a darker and more violent age have been revived. Assailed by cold, hunger and filth, Eliste prepares to run, before the bloodlust and the madness overwhelm her.
