description: Book I of The Bitterbynde Trilogy.The lordly Stormriders land their winged stallions on the airy battlements of Isse Tower, while in the fortress&amp;#39;s depths the superstitious servants sit by the hearth and tell ghastly tales of a world most of them have only glimpsed. Yet it is the least of the lowly–a mute, scarred and utterly despised foundling–who dares to scale the Tower, sneak aboard a Windship, and then dive from the sky.This is the beginning of a journey through a wilderness of endless danger–for the hearthside tales are true. Yet along the way the fugitive acquires a name, the ability to communicate by handspeak, and an amazing truth no one had ever guessed.As the journey grows longer and the challenges more deadly, the newly named &amp;#39;Imrhien&amp;#39; is saved by a mysterious Dainnan ranger whose gallantry and courage are matched only by his martial skills. But, unknown to them both, a deadly plot is unfolding as a dark force summons the malignant hordes of Unseelie, and foul things amass in the night.
