About the Book
Marla Wolfblade of Hythria must make sure her son Damin lives to be old enough to restore the Wolfblade name to its former glory. Elezaar the Dwarf, a small man with big secrets, teaches Marla the Rules of Gaining and Wielding Power, but will that be enough to keep her son alive?Book Synopsis
Marla Wolfblade of Hythria is determined to restore her family's great name, but conspirators surround her: the Sorcerers' Collective, the Patriots -- even members of her own family. She must make sure her son Damin lives to be old enough to restore the Wolfblade name to its former glory.
Elezaar the Dwarf is a small man with big secrets -- but that doesn't matter to Marla Wolfblade. Her brother is the High Prince of Hythria, and, in this fiercely patriarchal society, her fate will be decided on his whim. She needs someone politically astute to guide her through the maze of court politics -- and Elezaar the Dwarf knows more than he lets on. As Elezaar teaches Marla the Rules of Gaining and Wielding Power, Marla starts on the road to becoming a tactician and a wily diplomat -- but will that be enough to keep her son alive?Review Quotes
"The fantasy genre has its baggage--Renaissance fairs, role-playing games, Christopher Lambert. So credit Fallon for exploring themes like dirty politics and religious tolerance for the launch of her Hythrun Chronicles series, a bestseller in her native Australia . . . an intriguing soap opera of espionage and family revelations." --Entertainment Weekly on the Hythrun Chronicles
"Jennifer Fallon structures her novels to capture the reader from the opening paragraph and you can only break from her grasp when you reach the final page." --Altair on the Hythrun Chronicles "A gripping tale of warring ambitions, politics, and real people. The characters (and even the gods!) spring to vivid, believable life, making Medalon a great read. More, please!" --Ed Greenwood on Medalon "A well-executed fantasy with complex characters and entertaining style." --Kirkus Reviews on Treason KeepAbout the Author
