Former grand-mage of the high court, Cyril Laverre, has spent the last decade hiding himself away in a ramshackle hut by the sea, trying to catch any remaining fish for his cat familiar, Shoestring, and suppressing his guilt over the kingdom's ruin. When Shoestring wanders away and dies one morning, Cyril knows his days are finally numbered. But are there enough left to have a last go at putting things right? With his remaining lifeblood, he casts a powerful spell that catapults him back in time to a happier period of Farsalan history - a time when it was Eufrates's older sister Tig destined to ascend to the throne, before she died of a wasting disease, and a time when Cyril and Eufrates's tentative romance had not yet bloomed."--  |c Provided by publisher.
