Warrior (The Hythrun Chronicles: Wolfblade Trilogy, Book 2)

It is eight years since Marla Wolfblade buried her second husband. In that time, she has become the power behind Hythria's throne -- as much from a desire to control her own destiny in any way she can, as to protect her son, young Damin. nbsp; But while Marla plays the games of politics and diplomacy, the High Arrion of the Sorcerers' Collective is plotting to destroy her -- and the entire Wolfblade line. nbsp; And while Marla's power and fortune are great, they may yet not be enough to protect herself and her family from the High Arrion's wrath -- and her only ally and confidant, Elezaar the Fool, is toying with the idea of betrayal. nbsp; For he has discovered that the infamous Rules of Gaining and Wielding Power are not so useful when his own family is involved
