Julie E. Czerneda - A Play of Shadow (Night's Edge 2, epub) - j_ray

What would you risk for family?

In the second installment of Night's Edge, Bannan Larmensu, the truthseer who won
Jenn Nalynn's heart, learns his brother-in-law was sent as a peace envoy to Channen,
capitol of the mysterious domain of Mellynne, and has disappeared. When Bannan's
young nephews arrive in Marrowdell, he fears the worst, that his sister, the fiery
Lila, has gone in search of her husband, leaving her sons in his care.

The law forbids Bannan from leaving Marrowdell and travelling to Mellynne to help
his sister. In this world. As a turn-born, Jenn Nalynn has the power to cross into
the magical realm of the Verge, and take Bannan with her. Once there, they could find
a way into Mellynne.

If they survive. The Verge is wild and deadly, alive with strange magic. Dragons
roar and kruar wait in ambush, and the powerful turn-born who care for their world
do not care for Jenn Nalynn.

She's willing to try. Wisp and Scourge -- and the house toads -- offer their help.

But what none of them know is that magic is rife in Channen, magic that flows from
the Verge itself. And not even a turn-born will be safe there.
