the long version

Thiercelin wants his wife's love but all her time and energy are devoted to the preservation of Merafi and its ruler. Valdarrien, slain in a duel, wants to find his lost love and to live again. And the loyal soldier Joyain just wants a quiet life. But in the ancient city of Merafi, you don't always get what you want..."--p.[4] of cover.
