The story
Egan's people whisper of the golden-eyed prophetess descended from a god, the only one who can read the mystical Stones of Tomorrow and foretell happiness or grief, life or death. Egan of the Dal Cais is unmoved by her warnings, but he persuades her to pose as his mistress so he can find the traitor who killed his father.
When the pretence becomes real, the dark warrior will defy anyone, even his own clan, to keep her beside him. Oriana's gift deserts her just when she needs it most, and surrounded by enemies she is left with nothing but her heart, urging her to trust a fate she cannot foresee.
