Sybel is a powerful sorceress who has lived alone on the mountain most of her life, surrounded by a menagerie of mystical beasts. There is Cyrin the boar, a riddle-master who occasionally chooses to speak with a human voice; the dragon Gyld, who misses his hidden treasure and will kill any man who gets in his way; Gules Lyon, eternally wise but remorselessly savage in his defence of his mistress; Ter, the great falcon who legendarily slaughtered seven men but will always answer to Sybel’s command, and Moriah, a cat who knows the darkest of magics. They are content together, and have no wish to encounter the world of man – a world, not so far away, where war is constantly threatening to begin again.
