Riddle-Mastertells the tale of Morgon of Hed, a former student
of the College of Riddle-Masters, and the Prince and land-ruler of Hed.
Morgon wins a centuries-old riddle contest with Pevan, the wraith of a
long-dead king of another land, gaining a crown, learning of a betrothal
and opening himself up to a destiny he had no prior knowledge of, one
that he is reluctance to embrace. Morgon comes to learn powers buried
within him as he seeks the distant High One to discover who he is,
accompanied by the High Ones harpist, Deth, a man possibly even more
mysterious than the High One.
The middle book of the trilogy, Heir of Sea and Fire,
shifts focus from Morgan to Raederle, the woman Morgan unwittingly
becomes betrothed to upon winning Pevans riddle contest. Raederles
experiences mirror Morgons in many ways as she searches for Morgon and
struggles with her own in-born power. In Harpist in the Wind,
the trilogy shifts back to Morgon, with Raederle at his side as they
struggle to answer riddles about themselves, the High One, and his
harpist.
