Synopsis: Shifter Wars - Although Faan has at last achieved mastery of her magical talent, she has still not gained her heart's desire - to be reunited with the mother from whom she was stolen as a young child. But before she can hope to fulfill this quest, Faan and her companions in sorcery are caught up in a war beyond their imagining, held hostage by a people to whom magic is death. Forced to use their skills on behalf of their captors, Faan and her comrades are forced down pathways which will lead from universe to universe, to encounters with possible allies such as Brann, the Drinker of Souls, and to a terrifying confrontation with the Changed Gog - a final battle in the Magic Wars which could see not just Faan's world all of the interlinked universes destroyed!
