Synopsis ~
Since the arrival of the Three Lordly Ones
centuries ago, all manner of folk have flocked to Ithkar Fair – to trade, to
venerate, to scheme, and to game. In truth, they are a motley company. Come to Ithkar
Fair, and meet a washerwoman’s son who seems to be a deadly (if amiable)
assassin…a promising magician’s apprentice who finds the price of mastery quite
high…a magnificent stallion with a strange affinity for his owner’s daughter…a
young girl with a gift disguised as a disfigurement…a fiddler whose dream is
realized in an unexpected way…and a cat who is more than merely a cat. All
these and others have paid their gate-offering to find what they seek – and
what they never expected – at Ithkar Fair.
