Volume One of Guardians of the Three

cover:
For years the land of Ar has lived at peace. Here the catlike mrem rule by duty and honour. Now, from out of the east, their legendary enemies have risen again, sweeping toward Ar to begin their conquest anew.

Suspected because of his dark fur and magical abilities, Talwe is outcast by his village and sentenced to service in the White Dancer's guard. When he rescues the beautiful Princess Struss, heir to the throne of Ar, he finds himself caught at the centre of court intrigue. For as murderous traitors seek to usurp the throne, the ancient Eastern Lords invade with their arsenal of evil sorcery. Only Talwe, Struss and the mysterious Council of the Three command the magic necessary to defend the vital border post of Cragsclaw from the power of the Eastern Lords - a deadly force more potent than any the mrem have ever seen.
