The lusty Prince Wolfram, heir to the late, saintly King Kattanan Rhys, flees the kingdom of Lochalyn following an attempt on his life in Isaak's colorful but overly ornate sequel to her debut, The Singer's Crown (2005). With his safety endangered and true parentage in question, Wolfram leaves behind his mother, Queen Brianna, and her Lord Protector, Fionvar DuNormand, but is accompanied by his foster sister, Princess Melody, to the land of Hemijrai, a Middle Eastern stand-in contraposed with the "western" realm of Lochalyn. He falls in love with Deishima, a virginal acolyte of the priestess Faedra, a zealot who seduces Melody into a Hemijrai Rebirth ritual that could imperil Lochalyn. Isaak's occasionally slow-going sophomore effort may confuse readers unfamiliar with her debut. (Oct.)

Product Description
The courage of Kattanan duRhys saved a kingdom and created a legend perhaps impossible to equal. Now his son, Wolfram duRhys, wild prince of the realm, spends his days wenching, carousing, and shunning the legacy of his revered father. But Wolfram's revelries end when his carefree existence is shattered by an assassination attempt—and he discovers the lie he's been living . . . and the dark destiny that awaits.
Now the wayward son must flee to a distant land of magic and mystery—to enflame the love of a cloistered virgin, and the ire of a priestess who plans a bloody revenge. And suddenly the fate of an imperiled land rests with a reluctant prince who once lived for pleasure alone . . . and whose actions will either save his world or leave it smoldering in ruins.
