About this book

The Final Volume of the Firebringer Trilogy A secret haunts Jan's dying father, Korr—a secret so dark that, if exposed, could bring the downfall of the Firebringer. Jan is left with its terrible burden, and an impossible choice—renounce Tek, his beloved mate, and lose forever the kingship of the unicorns, or return and face the consequences of his father's acts, and of his own.
