Synopsis: Adapted from the back cover of the Popular Library first edition: Corruption and famine were rife in the land. Rebellion had rended the Forest Province violently asunder. It was the mission of Tevra, Colonel of the Light Cavalry, a woman in a stern man's world, to wring order from a kingdom of chaos - at swordpoint if need be. Yet no steel blade, no matter how finely sharpened or masterfully wielded, could hold sway in a realm where demons hovered in the chill woodlands, and shapes of death could be fashioned out of mere air. But even the most ungodly works of sorcery paled before the enigmatic powers of the Forest King himself - a challenge to summon all the hidden strengths of any soldier, woman or man!
