<b>From the back cover of the Timescape first edition:</b> "It was the sixth century after the Cataclysm... and in the fair coastal kingdom of Westria, the dashing young King set out to find a bride, a lady who could be not only mistress of his heart, but also Mistress of the Jewels.
<p>The Jewels of Westria: whoever could master their mysteries controlled the awesome power of the elements - and ensured the survival of fair Westria.
<p>And in a windswept northern province, a frail girl named Faris, beautiful but meek, humbly hid a secret beneath her cloak and told no-one of the powers she had long felt struggling within her. For she never dreamed she would be the King's choice."
