A sensational and gripping new fantasy series, introducing a fabulous new heroine, and weaving together elements of fairytale and sword and sorcery.
Blaze Halfbreed was dumped as a child in a gutter in The Hub, the capital of The Keeper Isles. Because of her halfbreed status, Blaze is not allowed citizenship, but she has one thing that ensured she was not thrown out of the Isles by the Keepers as a youngster . . . Awareness. She is able to "see" when dunmagic is being practised.
Blaze is a mercenary of sorts for the Keepers, and has just taken on the job of finding the Castlemaid, daughter of the king of the Keeper Isles, who has fled the Isles to escape a marriage of political convenience.
While in a hostel in Gorthan Spit, Blaze "sees" powerful dunmagic but is unsure of where it is coming from. She meets others in the hostel and the characters discover their self-interest intersects.
A complex plot evolves around the search for the Cirkasian princess. As plot and counter-plot are skilfully woven, the history of the Isles and the enslavement of a people by Morthred, an ancient magician, is unravelled.
