Beloved bastard of an unloved king, Fiona will do almost anything to please her father, even studying magic though she never shows more than a spark of talent.  But the plague that grips their city sends her to work with the dying, as enmity builds between the two peoples her father has brought together.  When arson burns a hospital, everyone blames the growing racial tension, until an unexpected suspect comes from the woods on a spirit-quest destined to uncover the secrets of Fiona's past.  Then Reynaud, long Fiona's suitor, suddenly asks to marry her sister.  Struggling to find a cure for the plague, Fiona becomes ever more convinced that its emergence is no coincidence—and that Reynaud may be leading a conspiracy that will end in genocide.

Prince Wolfram of Lochalyn can't possibly live up to the reputation of his father, the Blessed Rhys, so why bother to try?  Until a series of self-started catastrophes plunges him into the midst of the growing refugee population.  They claim to be fleeing a war, and only Wolfram sees the danger that lurks in their mysterious ways.  But his love for an exotic stranger, and his concern for the princess who pursues him collide with a more terrible struggle, in which his kingdom may fall and his very Goddess be brought to Her knees.   Discredited by his past and disdained by his own mother, Wolfram must find the truth of his birth, and fight to make amends for all that he's done—or be seduced by the darkness of distant power.
