Publisher's blurb:
The Mileng dynasty of Ishtun are among the oldest of the Diar-Formar lines dating back to the time of the first Parlas. Through marriage they have kept a stable peace between both Species respectively, and have overseen one of the most prosperous City-States in the Known World – Tamia.
Though their lands and subjects have recently been decimated by a plague they still possess enough wealth to command respect at the court of the Grand Pariun. The perception of their house has however waned, and other nobles are circling Tamia and the remaining Mileng territories eager to enact any number of rejuvenation plans in order to turn a profit. The eldest daughter of the Mileng, Firesia, is all for investing the family fortune in hired warriors and master builders to protect and restore Tamia. Her uncle, Leon the Wise, believes the Milengs are safest at court, and the fate of Tamia is now beyond the hands of their dynasty.
