"In this final volume of The Renshai Chronicles, Mickey Zucker Reichert returns us to Midgard at a time when an uneasy peace has been attained between the mortal kingdoms because all are now caught up in a shared catastrophe, cursed with sterility by the magic of the dark elves. Yet this disaster may well plunge the kingdoms into renewed warfare. For children are humanity's most precious commodity, and the King of Pudar, convinced that his son is the father of the soon-to-be-born child the Renshai Kevral is carrying, is threatening to make war on Bearn, unless she surrenders the babe to become the prince's heir."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
