In the south, hostility toward magic and its users has risen to a dangerous level, though King Baryn has ordered that such mystics are to be tolerated. It is whispered that he issued the decree because his new wife used her magic powers to ensnare him... The King knows there are those in the noble Twelve Houses who could use this growing dissent to overthrow him. So he dispatches the mystic Senneth to assess the threat throughout the realm. Accompanying her is a motley band of magic users and warriors including Tayse, first among the King's Riders - who holds a hard view of mystics in general, and Senneth in particular. But as the unlikely allies venture farther into the south, they will face death in a land under the sway of a fanatical cult that would purge Gillengaria of all magic users. And they will come to realize that their only hope of survival lies in standing together... 94425 2005 Mystic and Rider (Twelve Houses, #1) total:723|5:253|4:292|3:142|2:32|1:4| 723 2927 973 80 4 0 false false Sat Jan 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 07:18:14 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 07:26:14 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jul 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 06:47:38 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 06:58:06 -0700 2009
