Working prince-in-waiting Herewiss Hearn’s son pauses while re-shoeing his horse and rereads the letter that’s sending him off on an unexpected quest: to get his errant, outlawed lover out of trouble *again*. He’s got no real choice but to ride out to Freelorn’s rescue and save his loved and his little band of followers from the crowd of opportunistic mercenaries who’re after the price of his scalp. The only question now: will the sorcerous knowledge he’s picked up in his search for the power he *really* needs — the blue Fire — be enough to do the job?
