What a wonderful surprise. This is one of my favorite books I've read this year. I literally just picked it up at a bookstore because the cover intrigued me.

Miramar, a sorcerer who can control fire and talk to dead people who tell her prophecies (no she's not Haley Joel Osment from The Sixth Sense)

Josarian, an elite elite warrior who is prophesied to be his country's savior

Tansen, also an elite warrior who is best friends with Josarian and will protect him at all costs

Elelar, a calculated prostitute. Only she's not bumping nasties for money, she's doing it for information to help her cause to pull a coup on the tyrannical government.

The cast bands together to send their conquerors back to the homeland but is their losses worth what they're getting or are they trading tyranny for tyranny?

Melanie Rawn's blurb says, “ you can't wait to find out what the next revelation will be... A remarkable tale.”
This is the short and sweet version of exactly how I feel. So many crazy revelations and I can't wait to read the next books.All the characters are fun to read and all the deaths are very dramatic no matter who it is. I urge any 90's fantasy fan to pick this up.
