Emissary

Emissary is set in a world where magic has been outlawed for centuries, the only places its secrets are still practiced are the Long Halls scattered throughout the land-isolated haunts of wizards and their long-suffering students. But hidden rivers of power course deep beneath the earth, and not everyone has obeyed the edict outlawing magic. Vixens lie in wait on the Galwyn road. A mysterious race of telepaths comes and goes invisibly. It is even rumoured that Elves still hide among the wizened trees. And somewhere beyond the badlands, a menacing force is growing ever more powerful and threatening the hard-won peace of the realm. One young man has the power to stem the tide . . . but to do so will mean walking away from everyone and everything he has ever known.
