In the sun-scoured desert of Anauroch, the young Bedine witch Ruha hides a gift for magic her own tribe fears, even as an invading army marches toward their tents. Forced into an uneasy alliance with a Harper agent sent to track the threat, she must decide whether to trust an outsider to save people who have already cast her out. The first novel in the Harpers series follows Ruha's journey from desert outcast to reluctant protector of her people.
