Synopsis
Growing up not far from the road to Chinta on the edge of the Jungle Dragon, Tallen is excited to have her two brothers home. Recent times have been hard, Tallen herself barely surviving an attack by a derelict stranger in their very own barn.
The war that never was has relieved them of their duty at Chinta, so much so, that her father, the Sergeant of the Guard, is able to return for a visit, bringing news of a possible suitor for Tallen, given that she is almost of that age.
Tallen is not sure what she wants, and the man her father brings home is not what anyone expected. But at least she knows that her family has her best interests at heart when the pompous, self-interested merchant's son is sent back to Chinta.
The aftermath of the Offworlder's quest remains uncertain, the battle apparently lost. But for a reluctant Tallen, the journey is only just beginning, upon a path from which there may be no return.

From The Book
It had been one full moon since Tallen's brothers had returned home. They had been honour bound to train at the garrison of Chinta, a large town half a day's ride south. They had been there at the expectation of their father to prepare for the supposed war between the North and the South. Thankfully, her father had somehow found out that the war would not come to pass.
Knowing such a fact had been the only reason Chalier had sent his sons home. With the ill whisper of war on the wind, times were often no longer safe for those left behind while fathers, brothers, husbands and sons left home to fight for them.
Tallen had a sneaking suspicion that her father's change of heart had something to do with the strangers who had lunched at their house many weeks ago. A knight, a warrior woman, an elf, a young man, and a strange young woman called Darci.
