And when the master and apprentice come to the end of their intertwined paths, there may be hell to pay

"But there are a few great hopes for the future of the city. The Mutineer, Marno Cavotti, will not stand to see his hometown destroyed and is massing a powerful liberation movement inches beyond Stralg's grasp. And the four heirs of Celebre - each with god-given expertise in their respective fields of artistry, combat, wisdom, or death - are wending their way back over the Edge to their birthplace. Of course, even as Marno and the Celebre children work toward the common goal of defeating the Hrags, they're all painfully aware that once that hurdle is crossed, only one of them can wind up on Celebre's throne."--BOOK JACKET
