Every mile brings Lord Jester Lark closer to Cathret's battle lines, and almost certain recapture. Every moment risks discovery by enemy sacred beings, and enslavement to the Trokellestrai. But Lark's greatest fear is that what's left of him will never find the love that haunts his hopes, a love that may no longer wait for him on the island he yearns to call home once again.

The final book to the twin trilogy series, The Lord Jester's Legacy and The Poisoned Past.
