Ryder doesn't believe witches can tell the future until his mother's final prophesy comes true. When he meets an enemy Baen, the two have to overcome their prejudices and combine their powers to survive. Secrets, magic, and action are the heart of this book. While the end clearly sets up a sequel, the story is rewarding enough in itself.
