Maze Of Moonlight: Gael Baudino

Sequel to Strands of Starlight. The Elven race was far older than humankind and few mortals in the 14th century believed that they had ever existed. Yet they still saw the patterns of the past, the present and the future. In those patterns they saw two mortals who, touched by magic, could make all the difference in the age of Papal wars and fallen kingdoms. Christopher, Baron of Aurverelle, returns from the Crusades a broken man. Vanessa, a young peasant girl gift - or cursed - with the Sight, has been sent by her parents to seek employment in the Free Towns. When the Baron rescues her from almost-certain death, a bond is forged between them, drawing the Elvenkind to heal their wounds. When the realm is threatened, only the combined power of sword and spell will be enough to fight back the foe. Cover art by David O'Connor.
