The Skull of the World

'Sign of the Soul-Sage, a good omen for your quest,' the Soul-Sage said. 'A sign of death as well as wisdom, though, remember. Change ahead for you, like the change wrought on a landscape by an avalanche. There are things in your past and in your unknown which shall seize you in their jaws and seek to drag you under.'

Isabeau has immersed herself in the life of the Khan'cohbans but she still hopes to return to Eileanan from her self-imposed exile. First, though, she must undertake her journey of initiation to the Skull of the World, where the cruel and enigmatic Gods of White will at last reveal her true destiny to her. And when, changed beyond belief, Isabeau can finally return to her own people, it is only to find she alone can confront Margrit of Arran, whose evil machinations threaten to destroy all that Isabeau holds most dear.
