Bones of the Fair
Darest stands on the
verge of a Golden Age. The revival of the Rathen line and a blood price won from the Fair has drawn a flood of visitors eager to snatch their
share of changing fortune – or at least one of the fabulous prizes
offered at the Spring Festival.
Among those coaxed back to the
once-failing kingdom is Gentian Calder, daughter of Shapers. Before she can decide whether to risk her life by staying, news arrives to put all other considerations aside. The Atlaran Ambassador and half the heirs
of the western kingdoms have disappeared on Darest's border.
Gentian agrees to join the Diamond Coeurveur and his apprentice in a rush to
join the search. Will they find the missing? A plot against Darest?
Or uncover older secrets, buried deep?

"Bones of
the Fair" is set in the same world as "Champion of the Rose". It can be
