The Cursed Towers: Kate Forsyth

Book III of The Witches of Eileanan. Lachlan the Winged now holds the Lodestar. He and Iseult have been crowned Righ and Banrigh of all Eileanan and the Far Lands, but dark times still lie ahead. The Bright Soldiers pursue their holy war, the Awl seeks to raise support for Maya's baby daughter - who it claims is the true Banrigh - and - Margrit of Arran continues to plot in the distant Tower of Mists. Then Lachlan is struck by a paralysing curse, leaving Iseult to lead the country through a terrible and bloody war. Cover art by Neal Armstrong.
