Book 1 of the 'Keys Of Power' trilogy.
The four Keys of Power give the ruler of Grenda Lear absolute authority. But when Queen Usharna passes on one key to each of her four children, rivalry and bitterness flare into violence. Berayma, the eldest, is murdered before he can be crowned king. And so it is his sister, Areava, who is crowned Queen. Areava is determined to find her brother's killer, and it is not long before Lynan, Queen Usharna's youngest son, comes under suspicion. His life is in danger - not only from Areava - and he knows that unless he leaves he will never be able to lay claim to his rights as a Prince of the realm.
Lynan flees with Kumul, an officer of the guards, and Jenrosa, a fledgling magician. The fugitives make for the Ocean of Grass and by stealth, subterfuge and sheer luck, find refuge there with the legendary Chett tribes. Lynan knows now that he will return to Grenda Lear as a conqueror or not at all. But that will mean waging war on his homeland, against his sister . . .
