Synopsis
THE CHAMELN ARE AN ANCIENT PEOPLE of the continent of Hylor who live in a wide and beautiful land of lakes, grassland and forest. They are ruled by a double sovereignty, chosen always from two families, the Firn and the Zor. Aidris Am Firn, her father's heir, learns the traditional skills and duties of a princess. But powerful forces are threatening the rulers of the Chameln. The parents of Aidris are assassinated and her own life is in danger. When Esher Am Zor, the remaining ruler, dies, the warlike neighboring state of Mel'Nir invades the Chameln lands and the princess must go swiftly into exile to avoid capture. Aidris is practical and well-schooled. She does what she has to do to survive, though it means leaving friends and comforts behind. A secret journey through the forest and the need to fend for herself and an unexpected companion harden her determination. When, in the moment of greatest danger, a splendid champion appears, she still does not reveal her identity. Through long years Aidris keeps her secret and leads the life of a cavalry soldier, a kedran, in the peaceful realm of Athron. She has strange adventures and hears strange tales; she experiences love and friendship. Aidris comes to terms with her own royal heritage and learns to work her own magic. All this is in preparation for the day her people throw off the yoke of Mel'Nir and come for her. And when this day does come she is able to face the difficult life of a queen, in war and in peace.
