Dancer's Rise

Serroi - first a warrior woman, later a pawn of the most evil wizard her people had ever known, and finally a powerful worker of earth magic. For centuries self-imprisoned, Serroi has at last escaped her bonds to find herself in a changed land, a place of scattered city-states which have slowly been acquiring artifacts of technology. And with Serroi's return, magic, long-vanquished and vanished, seems at last to be reappearing.
In a new trilogy about the characters of the Duel of Sorcery series, Clayton takes up the tale of her most beloved fantasy heroine, Serroi, a warrior woman and a wielder of Earth magic. Spell-imprisoned for centuries, Serroi has at last escaped and now faces a changed world--and an enemy able to seize control of the minds and souls of others.
