These three books are set 600 years before The Last T’En trilogy and tell the story of that Imoshen’s namesake, Imoshen the First, who led her people out of persecution.

This series follows the fate of a tribe of dispossessed mystics, the T’Enatuath. Vastly outnumbered by Meers (people without magical abilities), the mystics are persecuted because ordinary people fear their gifts.

This persecution culminates in a bloody pogrom sanctioned by the Meer King who lays siege to the Celestial City, last bastion of the T’Enatuath. When the city falls at great cost to both sides, the T’En leader negotiates their surrender and the mystics are exiled from their homeland.

Under Imoshen’s leadership, the T’Enatuath battle vindictive King Chald who has vowed to rid his country of these hated Mystics, storms at sea, pirates, and even betrayal from within their own ranks.

A fantasy-family saga, the characters are linked by blood, love and vows as they struggle with misplaced loyalties, over-riding ambition and hidden secrets which could destroy them. Some make desperate alliances only to suffer betrayal from those they trust, and some discover great personal strength in times of adversity.
