Pamela Freeman

First published September 2007
Type Novel
Series The Castings World › The Castings Trilogy #1

"A thousand years ago, the people of Acton conquered the Eleven Domains, from which they killed or drove out the legitimate inhabitants. Those who did not perish survived on the roads. They were called Travelers. Today, the Domains are ruled with an iron fist by the warlords of Acton. Some things escape their control, however: spirits, the magic of the elements... and sometimes human beings, distant descendants of the Travelers. Like Ronce, this young girl who must flee her family; like Ash, forced to kill for a tyrannical employer; like Sparrowhawk, the black enchanter who swore revenge for his people. The stones could never have predicted that a powerful bond would one day unite their three destinies. " nooSFere Oct 31, 2022
