Review Summaries
"Sybel is the daughter and granddaughter of a wizard. A baby boy named Tam is left with her, though she has not the heart to care for it. The boy teaches her to love.
Sybel is disturbed by his heritage. For the boy is the heir to a war that has raged throughout the land and in time his father, the king, comes to claim him. The king is a coward though. He believes that Sybel is bad. The King is afraid of her. She is more powerful than he and so he tries to destroy her. "
