Táto epická fantasy séria zaviedla čitateľov do sveta Damar, kde sa mladé ženy stávajú nečakanými hrdinkami. Sledujeme ich cesty plné nebezpečenstva, mágie a hľadania vlastnej sily. Dej sa často točí okolo politických intríg, starodávnych proroctiev a nevyhnutného stretu dobra a zla. Je to príbeh o odvahe, sebapoznávaní a prekonávaní vlastných limitov v exotickom a prepracovanom svete.
From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Sunshine" and "The Outlaws of Sherwood"-now in trade paperback. This is the story of Harry Crewe, the Homelander orphan girl who became Harimad- sol, King's Rider, and heir to the Blue Sword, Gonturan, that no woman had wielded since the Lady Aerin herself bore it into battle.
Aerin could not remember a time when she had not known the story; she had grown up knowing it. It was the story of her mother, the witchwoman who enspelled the king into marrying her, to get an heir that would rule Damar; and it was told that she turned her face to the wall and died of despair when she found she had borne a daughter instead of a son. Aerin was that daughter. But there was more of the story yet to be told; Aerin's destiny was greater than even she had dreamed--for she was to be the true hero who would wield the power of the Blue Sword...
