Young Sybel, the heiress of powerful wizards, needs the company of no-one outside her gates.

But SybelοΏ½s solitude is to be shattered when a desperate soldier arrives bearing a mysterious child. Soon Sybel will discover that the world of men is full of love, deceitοΏ½and the temptations of vast power.
