The Changeling
A UNION MADE IN THE NAME OF PEACE WILL SHATTER IN BETRAYAL AND DEATH... AND BLUE ISLE MAY ONCE AGAIN ERUPT IN WAR
In the years following the invasion of the Fey, Blue Isle has
maintained an uneasy peace. But the marriage between the Islander
prince, Nicholas, and the Fey king's granddaughter, Jewel, has not
brought their peoples together in true unity, as they had hoped. And
worse, the firstborn son that Nicholas and jewel had hoped would bring
the Fey and the Islanders alike to accept their union has proven to be
an empty husk of a child, seen by both races as an ill omen.
But Jewel's Vision has not shown her the truth: that Sebastian is not
her child but a changeling, and that her true son was spirited away by
her own father to the enchanted fortress of gray mist called the
Shadowlands. There Rugar hopes to use the boy's magic to consolidate
his power among the Fey and finish the conquest he began. His theft of
his grandson is only the first betrayal that will weaken the fragile
alliance between races; soon an assassination will touch off an
explosive chain of events that will threaten the survival of both
peoples.
Continuing the brilliant epic begun in The Sacrifice, The Changeling weaves a compelling story peopled with vibrant characters into a
glorious tapestry of enchantment and betrayal.
