Widowed by a violent conquest, imprisoned as a spoil of war, spirited Lady Elienne encounters a formidable visitation inside her locked cell. A powerful, unknown sorcerer promises her a reprieve in trade for a precarious fate: safe transfer from her ruined duchy to another world, there to become chosen bride for the Prince of Pendaire. But the perilous bargain depends on her late husband�s unborn child, with the defenseless infant birthed as threatened centerpiece in a deadly struggle to upset the succession. Alone with bare wits, Elienne faces entanglement in vicious intrigue, herself the target for ambitious usurpers already plotting Prince Darion�s downfall through dark magic.
Sorcerer�s Legacy drew Raymond E. Feist to invite Janny Wurts as collaborator on the Empire trilogy, involving another resourceful heroine from the other side of his Riftwar series.
Captive in a world of warring magic ...
�DARION!� Elienne�s cry raised a gust of wind. Glassware tumbled. Then the air before her spit, cloven by sorcery. Within the rent appeared a tall �gure clad in wet riding leather and gray wool cloak. Soulfocus light blazed down on sodden white hair and the familiar lined face of Taroith.
�My Lady!� Taroith�s summons cut urgently through the soft sigh of the �ames. �Come to me, quickly.�
But a thin, red bar of light shot between them, barring Elienne from the Sorcerer. Golden and surly in his spoiled black doublet, Faisix lifted his voice in challenge. �If you wish the Lady's company, Master Taroith, you must win it from me.�
Taroith said, �You are foolish to contest me.�
�Spoken like a true and loyal Master of the League,� Faisix sneered. With the grace of a panther, he stepped across the tangled wreckage of his study. �If you want the woman, �ght for her.�
�Strike first, then,� Taroith said softly. �And remember whose choice initiated this conflict�.�
