Summary
Raised to hone a sword rather than perform the traditional duties of women in her male-dominated desert world, chieftain's daughter Rifkind finds a new home where she practices healing arts and raises a child, only to find herself called upon to fulfill her destiny as a sorceress. By the author of Sanctuary. 12,500 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In a desert world ruled by men, Rifkind has always been one apart. A chieftain's daughter, she learned to wield a sword while all other women were bound by tribal custom to children and the cooking fire. But when her clan was massacred, she set forth on a quest for her destiny in savage lands ruled by magic and the sword.
For a while she had thought that she had found a home. She practiced the healing arts and raised her son.
But now she has once again heard a personal call to arms, a call to leave behind the safety of her home. She will once again take up the way of the sword, the way of sorcery. And this time she is not alone.
