and flee back to the Nightrunners.
In a vision, Chiamh discovers that the Sword of Flame is hidden in the Lady Eilin's Valley. The
Mages and their companions make plans to return to the North, unaware of the fact that Eliseth has
sent Bern to infiltrate the rebel camp in the Vale.
In the city of Taibeth, Sara is alone, for Xiang has headed north across the desert in search of
his son Harihn, unaware that the Prince is already dead. Sara has evolved a plan to dupe Xiang
with a feigned pregnancy during his absence. On reaching the far side of the desert, Xiang finds
the forest occupied by Eliizar and his folkЧwho are ready for invaders. Xiang's forces are
vanquished and he is slain by Eliizar himself. As long as Sara can carry out her deception to its
conclusion and produce a child from somewhere at the proper time, she will be in an unassailable
position of power as the mother of Xiang's successor.
On reaching the coast of the Southern Lands, Aurian sum-

mons the Leviathan Ithalasa. Risking the disapproval of his people, he agrees to take Chiamh,
Panic, and Sangra on his back so that they can contact Yanis and arrange for Night-runner ships to
take the Mages and the Xandim forces provided by Schiannath back to the North. Before they can
board the ships, Cygnus joins them. Though he has deceived Raven into sending him to assist the
Mages, he has truly come to steal the Harp by any possible means.
In Nexis, Eliseth sees in her scrying crystal that Aurian has returned. She makes a treacherous
attack on Miathan, takes him out of time and steals the Grail of Rebirth. With a force of
mercenaries, she advances on the Valley to battle the Mages and their allies on the outskirts.
D'arvan, the Wildwood's guardian, lets Aurian's folk pass within. When Eliseth finds herself
barred from entering, she calls down lightning to set the woods ablaze.
When Aurian reaches the lake, she is attacked by Maya, but breaks the spell and returns her old
friend to her human form. When the Mage tries to claim the Sword, it demands a sacrificeЧthe blood
of a loved one. Rather than make such a bargain, Aurian forfeits the Artifact. The Phaerie, freed
by the Sword but unable to swear allegiance to its wielder, are loosed upon the world and turn the
Xandim back to their equine form. Cygnus, seeing his chance, attacks Anvar, and as Aurian rushes
to his aid, Eliseth steals the Sword. When she tries to wield it together with the Grail, however,
she rends open the fabric of time, vanishing with Anvar through the gap. Aurian follows, along
with D'arvan, Maya, Chiamh, Schiannath, and the great cats Shia and Khanu. All of them are lost in
time and hurtling toward an unknown fate.

Chapter 1
The Last of the Magefolk
When the wizard failed to master the Sword of Flame, the Phaerie were free at last. To Hel-lorin,
it was a stroke of good fortune beyond belief that the flame-haired Magewoman had not only,
through her weakness, granted his people the liberty they had craved, but had also been the means
of restoring the Phaerie steeds that had lived for so long in human guise, far across the sea.
"Ride, my children," he roared exultantly. "Let the world tremble, for the Phaerie ride once
more!"
"No," Eilin shouted. "Lord, you must not do this. Let the Xandim go. These are intelligent
beings!"
