From the back cover of the Bantam first edition: "A new life for Lady Firebird - Exiled for disobedience, Lady Firebird escaped the terrible fate of her birth as an expendable Wastling and fought heroically to save her adopted world from destruction. Now bonded with her former enemy, the Sentinel Brennen Caldwell, she finds herself the unexpected bearer of an ancient and evil prophecy. While her royal family seeks to seal her doom, Firebird faces her greatest challenge in the form of two implacable enemies - one from outside... and one from within."
