Welcome to Litsy!

Sometimes the price of destiny is higher than anyone imagined....Dark Magic, Hidden DestinyFor three centuries a divine prophecy and a line of warrior queens protected Skala. But the people grew complacent and Erius, a usurper king, claimed his young half sister�s throne. Now plague and drought stalk the land, war with Skala�s ancient rival Plenimar drains the country�s lifeblood, and to be born female into the royal line has become a death sentence as the king fights to ensure the succession of his only heir, a son. For King Erius the greatest threat comes from his own line � and from Illior�s faithful, who spread the Oracle�s words to a doubting populace.As noblewomen young and old perish mysteriously, the king�s nephew � his sister�s only child � grows toward manhood. But unbeknownst to the king or the boy, strange, haunted Tobin is the princess�s daughter, given male form by a dark magic to protect her until she can claim her rightful destiny. Only Tobin�s noble father, two wizards of Illior, and an outlawed forest witch know the truth. Only they can protect young Tobin from a king�s wrath, a mother�s madness, and the terrifying rage of her brother�s demon spirit, determined to avenge his brutal murder....From the Paperback edition.
