Deep in the heart of the Bohemian Forest, the little country of Sumava is about to become one of the first victims of the Thirty Years' War--unless her ruler, Duke Ottokar, can pull a miracle out of his hat. To save his country, he's willing to get supernatural help, even from the Black Huntsman himself. But he discovers that all help comes with a price--and now the Black Hunt is after his soul.

It's not surprising that the daughter of a witch and a wizard has some innate magical aptitude, and Daimbert is more that willing to nurture her talent. But he's finding he also has to play dad to the rest of the younger generation of Yurt. Plus, deal with an exoctic eastern princess, an enormous fenris-wolf, and a bogus miracle worker named Cyrus.

Love and magic don't mix, and neither do wizardry and the church. But that doesn't stop Daimbert, the royal wizard of Yurt. When Daimbert discovers that the woman he's loved for years is marrying someone else, he decides to leave Yurt for Caelrhon. But no one wants him there and he senses hidden sinister plots at work.
