The Lament of Abalone - Jane Welch

Three years on from the events of THE RUNESPELL, TRILOGY, the young lords of Torra Alta are a little older and, perhaps a little wiser. They will need to be, to face their new challenges.... While Spar broods over his stewardship over Necrond, the deadliest artefact in the world, Hal and Brid have become betrothed. But the weakening of Morrigwen, eldest of the Trinity of the priestesses, forces them all to face the future. and so quests begin - for the Maiden to take Brid's place, for wolf cubs who are vital to the survival of the Trinity, and for the King's new bride. Alone and collectively. The Torra Altans find that they and their world are under threatas never before. They must cheat death itself and survive.
