Synopsis ~

Ysmay, who was once chatelaine of the keep at Uppsdale, is now made to feel unwanted by her brother's new bride. She yearns for her former responsibilities, even if it means she must marry a stranger who comes to town for a trade fair. He in turn is attracted by her dowry, an old caved-in amber mine. Ysmay follows her new husband to the far north, to Quayth Keep and learns to her dismay that "it is one of the ancient places which the Old Ones had the building of." Witch World fans know what this might mean: does Ysmay's new lord have dealings with certain Dark Powers?
