Darian left his home at the Pelagiris Forest's edge when Errold's Grove was attacked by barbarians and his guardian, Wizard Justyn, killed in valiant defence of his people. Darian is now honing his craft under the watchful eyes of the Hawkbrothers. Though he fought long and hard to avoid his destiny, Darian is gaining new skills as a mage: a mage with an affinity for mind-speaking, particularly with the Hawk Owl, Kuari, who has become his closest companion.
Back in Errold's Grove, Keisha, a natural born healer, is proving indispensable to all the villagers, though she is not yet officially recognised as such. Her destiny seems very ordinary indeed next to her sister Shandi's. Shandi has been Chosen - she is to be a Herald, an honour indeed. But between them, Keisha and Darian have a task to complete that could have consquences for all of Valdemar - their guide is to be no lesser a figure than the legendary Firesong, hero of the Mage-Storms.

Six years have passed since Darian Firkin fled from marauding barbarians into the Pelagiris Forest, where he was rescued by the mysterious Hawkbrothers. Though he fought long and hard to avoid his destiny, Darian has finally grown from a troubled and unhappy child to a responsible adult.
And now he's reaping the rewards of his endurance, receiving some of the highest honours in Valdemar: Darian has been made a Knight of Valdemar and a Clanbrother... and he has just passed all the tests and become a Master Mage. He has been named the head of a new community, the Vale of k'Valdemar, located near his old home of Errold's Grove.
Despite all this, life for Darian is not completely satisfactory. Though he has found a woman he hopes will be his life mate - the Healer Keisha Alder - she repeatedly refuses to wed him. Keisha has responsibilities of her own, caring for the people of Errold's Grove, and is concerned about potential conflicts in the future as Darian becomes more and more involved in negotiating disputes and policy. And his romantic problem is not the only one plaguing Darian; he is haunted by the loss of his parents, who vanished when his childhood home was attacked all those years ago.
For Darian, hero of Owlsight and Owlflight, the greatest adventure is yet to come...
