Overview

When conflict breaks out in the southeast of his kingdom, Rohyr Essendri decides to use a plea for help as a way to increase the Crown's presence in the area. Impulse pushes him to journey to distant Tal Ereq with the delegation assigned to negotiate terms with the small town's citizens. But destiny has something in store for the powerful Ardan of Ylandre. An unlooked-for merging of memory and reality and a second chance long hoped for.

Note: Prelude to Fate is set just before the events described in Chapter 1 of Book One: Sacred Fate.
