Julia has been defeated and all seems lost. Now, in The Warrior Within, we find Julia suffering from her enforced Tancred addiction and Keverin crossing Deva on his desperate mission to save her. Winter lies heavy
upon the land, and Shelim, one time warrior and now shaman of the Night
Wind Clan, is far from home. Driven north by his dreams of an outclan
woman cloaked in death, and by his mentor's fear of his clan's defeat at the hands of Navarien's legion, Shelim struggles to persuade an
obstinate clan chief to ally with the other clans at Denpasser. Reunited with Julia when his best friend proves his mastery over a clan
swordmaster, Keverin has every intention of returning with Julia to
Athione and his wedding. Julia has other ideas. Rescued from the
sorcerers by Shelim's mentor, Julia is determined to repay her debt by
ending Navarien's threat once and for all. Little does Julia know, but
Mortain's heir has sent his son to Navarien with two hundred sorcerers
and thirty thousand legionnaires to personally oversee the clan's
destruction.
