Klappentext

"The stars are cold and blind 'til we warm them with our need and sing of what they see." From The Song of the Starwatchers In a land ravaged by plague, the new King hopes a volatile mix of faith, superstition, and trade might save his realm. Muren, the stubborn and impulsive son of the King's Starwatcher, turns to the reticent elves of Longwood for answers. Through the discovery and loss of everything he loves, Muren finds himself the reluctant father of a forbidden child, and the centre of a conflict that threatens to decimate a world he is ill equipped to save. What makes a hero? Muren may want to be one. His daughter, Kirsten, may have to be one. The world will certainly need them both.
