FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "A major work by an authentic master of alternate history." – Booklist (Starred Review) In the tenth year of the Change, the survivors in western Oregon live in a world without technology. Michael Havels Bearkillers hold the lands west of Salem in peace and order. To the east, the Clan Mackenzie flourishes under the leadership of Juniper Mackenzie, bard and High Priestess. Together, they have held Norman Arminger—the warlord of Portland—at bay. With his dark fantasies of a neofeudal empire, Arminger rules much of the Pacific Northwest, spreading fear with his knights, castles, and holy inquisition. Even more dangerous, and perhaps Armingers most powerful weapon of all, is his ruthlessly cunning consort, Lady Sandra. These factions havent met in battle because Armingers daughter has fallen into Clan Mackenzies hands. But Lady Sandra has a plan to retrieve her—even if it means plunging the entire region into open warfare… Author Biography S. M.
