Description
While in the highlands of Tasmania, Danae Miller, a beautiful young woman of seventeen steps through a portal, not realising that she herself opened it. Finding herself on a devastated battlefield she rescues a wounded warrior, but in doing so, the portal, her means of escape closes.
The warrior she rescues, Darby, the Earl of Camdon, is a minor wizard in a land of wizards who are striving to control Kratia. Darby was the last hope of the people. Datha, a Master Wizard seeking revenge for the hideous facial injuries he received from Darby cannot believe Darby has escaped him again. He is mystified as to how this can happen as he should have been able to follow the aura, the latent image of Darby from the battlefield.
With the aid of a friend, Jacob the fisherman, they begin a trek to the mountains to safety among the Legons. While on this trek Darby tutors Danae on how to use the bow and the throwing knives that she seems to adapt to very quickly. To Danae it all seemed strangely familiar.
Joined by a woman warrior, Martha, they are pursued by Kato, one of the Master Wizards vying for power. Datha, another Master Wizard and no friend of Katos has sent Brutus, his general to set a trap for Darby on the edge of Legon territory.
On the way Martha is slain by Kato and Danae wounds a wizard which is unheard of, mortals cannot pierce a wizard’s cloaking, his shield. Danae and Darby become closer, both realise that they are falling in love and eventually submit to their feelings.
On reaching the mountains, Darby, Danae and Jacob find themselves trapped between the two forces. Using the night and the rain they steal through Datha’s lines but with the approaching dawn they are spotted and a fight develops whereby Jacob is slain and Danae receives and arrow in the back from Kato.
Appearing from out of nowhere a Legon Wizard confronts Darby and the woman cradled in his arms. Darby appeals for help, but the wizard says he cannot save her. She pleads with them to take her back to the battlefield. The Legon wizard transports them back to the battlefield with his magic where Danae resurrects the portal and with failing strength she disappears through it. Seventeen years later Danae is ready to go back to Kratia. This time she goes back as a warrior bent on revenge.
