Taken from their families in the Year of the Unicorn, the thirteen were the payment to settle the Great Bargain by which the Hounds of Alizon were finally beaten from High Hallack with the aid of the Were-Riders. The Were-Riders wore the bodies of men, but they were not human-kind, and the price of their alliance was thirteen beautiful maids of High Hallack to be taken as brides to the unknown. Gillan, one of the thirteen brides, was destined to see beyond the illusion and mist that cloaked the shapes of the nomadic Were-Riders, and view the lost powers, the forgotten world, and the ancient challenge that threatened them all.

Work Description

In peaceful Norsdale, we meet Gillan, who longs to leave her dull life in a secluded country abbey. But when her wish comes true, she finds more than a little adventure. As she ventures out, not only is her life in danger, but also the power that lies within her, waiting to be discovered.

The Were Riders wore the shape of men but they were not human. The price of their aid was thirteen maidens to be taken a brides. This is the story of one of them.
