Marron is a former Ransomer from Outremer who does not yet fully understand what he has become. His companions know more about the power he now wields, and insist that his destiny lies with theirs in Rhabat. But their motives are far from united.

Media Reviews
Brenchley's concise, muscular prose makes the story flow, free of genre cliches and embarassments. Recommended. * SFX *
The praise that greeted Chaz Brenchley's Tower of the King's Daughter in hardback was considerable, with particular praise being lavished on the elegant prose. But this first book marked the astute reader's card in no uncertain terms: here was a fantasy * Barry Forshaw, AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW *
