The Horsemen's Gambit — David B. Coe

A CHANCE FOR GLORY

Tirnya, an accomplished swordswoman and military leader, burns with her people's shame. A century past, the magical Qirsi drove them from Deraqor, forcing them to resettle in Qalsyn. Her father, though a prominent lord, can never rule their adopted land and refuses to even speak of what they have lost. Yet she knows that given a chance, he would gladly fight to reclaim their homeland. Now their longtime antagonists, felled by a mysterious plague that turns their magic against them, are vulnerable as never before.

She could bring glory back to Deraqor at the risk of destroying the life her people have built in their adopted land. Tirnya stands at a crossroads, poised to reclaim her birthright . . . or face death at the hands of their ancient adversaries.
