Heir of Rengarth

From the flaps of the Tor first edition: "Silver-eyed Irissa, the Torloc seeress is pregnant with the child of Kendric the Wrathman, the human skeptic who, by bed, bond, has gained the magical powers he distrusts. Now that Irissa and Kendric have brought the male and female Torlocs back together, peace rules in Edanvant But what malign force suddenly poisons Irissa, bringing her to the point of death? Kendric is sure the poison is Geronfrey's work - Geronfrey the evil wizard who seems to want Irissa's very essence. Kendric enters Geronfreey's Black Tower, intent on besting him once and for all, convinced that this is his only hope of curing Irissa. Within the Tower, Kendric is transported to Rengarth, the place that refuses to be found, the land of enchantment that can poison as well as seduce... In Edanvant, Irissa is cured - whether by the efforts of Ilvanis and Neva, banished from Rengarth long ago, or by the strange presence of the Overstone, or by the crystals of Rengarthian scryer Ludborg - she does not know. One thing is sure, however, she must follow Kendric. It will not be easy to do so, Rengarth refuses to be found, even by one adept in the use of Gates between Worlds. With some astonishing help from an unexpected source, Irissa succeeds in reaching Rengarth. But Rengarth is the land of illusion, captive to the rule of the Usurper, where a city can be a reflection, where there is an army of Heirs to the High Seat, where the dreaded greenweavers enmesh the living, and where a crimson-haired brother and sister can mobilize spirits long captive in animal form. But Irissa still does not find Kendric. He is captive in Salamandor Tierze, in the Usurper's palace of illusion. His sword is gone. And his captor is none other than Geronfrey. His only hope of freedom, and a return t Irissa, is the beautiful, greedy and stupid Issiri, whose lack of human feelings may indicate an inhuman nature. It will take all Kendric and Irissa's powers to survive, much less to deal with the horrifying future that Geronfrey is creating for them, for their child - and for Rengarth. Told with all the color and magic Carole Nelson Douglas' readers expect, Heir of Rengarth is a tale of love and evil, of bright goodness and dark perversion, and of the birth of new realities."
