Fleeing their war-ravaged homeland, Audrun, Davyn, and their four children join a karavan headed toward a haven of peace where diviners have said their fifth child must be born, but before they can safely reach their destination, they are overtaken and separated by the deepwood, a magical and unstable realm filled with lost souls. Reprint.
Diviners have told Audrun that the child she carries must be born in a haven of peace, far from her war-scourged homeland, but as she flees she finds only far greater danger. For her karavan is overtaken by Alisanos, the deepwood, a dangerous magical forest that harbors not only demons, gods, and other otherwordly creatures, but also its own sinister intentions-and which may have already claimed Audrun and her child for its own.
