An innocent excited boy, a prince and heir, takes his first journey to the city. It is like nothing he imagined. Hands pound against his carriage: voices call for a coin, sir, just one, spare me some money, sir, I haven't eaten in days. The streets teem with merchants in velvet robes, magicians, half-mad preachers, with life and color, poverty and noise. He doesn’t want to miss any of it. But this marks the last journey in his life as a prince. Soon he will be abandoned and declared dead. Soon he will be utterly alone, faced only with survival and what will become the driving force of his life: the quest to recover his stolen inheritance, his usurped throne, his home. A story of cities and palaces, of power-hungry lords and ladies scheming inside a magically threatened land. Intricate and compelling, The White Mists of Power is the debut novel of an author who has gone on to have a seismic impact on the science fiction and fantasy field.
