Khamsin was born at Wintertide during a great storm.

She was conceived when her mother was raped. Her father is unknown, probably one of the feared raiders. Neither her blood family nor her village has a welcome for her.

So she is raised by the old healer, Bronya, who teaches her about the powers of magic and the strange fate that awaits her.

In her seventeenth year another terrible raid decimates the village and Khamsin is attacked and blamed. Since Bronya is dead, she decides that now is the time to set out on her own to meet her fate, and maybe, stop the war that has raged for generations.

Along the way, she will find danger, friends, deceit, and her one true love, but will it, and she, be enough?

I don't consider this Sinclair's best writing, but her average writing is better that most authors' best.
