Here's the set-up:
In a province where magic is forbidden and its possessors are murdered
by the cruel Praetor, young Ilan, born with the powerful gift of her
ancestors, has only one hope for survival. Concealment. In the shadow of
Dimmingwood, she finds temporary protection with a band of forest
brigands led by the infamous outlaw Rideon the Red Hand.
But as
Ilan matures, learns the skills of survival, and struggles to master the
inherent magic of her dying race, danger is always close behind. When
old enemies reappear and new friendships lead to betrayal, will her
discovery of an enchanted bow prove to be Ilan's final salvation or her
ultimate downfall?
One Reviewer Notes:
I like the world, and the characters. The story is unfolding at a nice rate, and I find myself looking forward to finding out more about this place.
