Foxfire

Mythopoeic Fantasy Award nominee 2010 (Trickter's Game trilogy).

On the bleak northern moors, Darak and his family begin a new life, free from the prejudices of their tribe and the looming threat of the Zherosi. But their past continues to haunt them, and choices made years ago threaten their future as surely as the armies that raze their forests.

As rebellion spreads and the tribes fight for survival, a new force enters the game – Rigat, the youngest son of Darak and Griane. Gifted with magic far greater than Keirith's,  Rigat is the only one who might be able to save his people. Aided by the Trickster, he embarks on a dangerous game of deception that will determine the future of the children of the Oak and Holly – and the fate of the gods they worship.
