Back Jacket
To Gwynnefar of the Summerlands, greetings from the High Ones.
We have received word that you defeated the Mór, who was your mother the Lady Laurelin's betrayer and who stained the land with blood, and that you have cleansed the land of this stain. We have been told, too, that your father was one Owen, a human man.
After freeing her kin from the wicked false ruler, Fer is now the rightful Lady of the Summerlands. Yet her people don't know what to make of their new Lady's strange ways, and neither do the High Ones, the rulers of the magical realm, for Fer is an outsider--half human. To prove herself worthy of the Summerlands crown, Fer is summoned to compete in an epic contest where her strengths and skills will be tested and her loyalties challenged. Can she trust Rook, the puck she calls friend? Can she trust herself? If Fer fails, she will lose her land and the Way will be closed to her forever.
