The Women and the Warlords (Chronicles of an Age of Darkness, #3)

In the Collosnon Empire, even an oracle can be dragged into war. Yen Olass is trained to read the future - not to change it. But when a desperate warrior arrives at her door demanding more than a prophecy, she is drawn into a feud that has consumed the Collosnon warlords for generations. What begins as a single request soon entangles her in war, madness, and wizardry far beyond anything her training prepared her for. "Lord Alagrace said you'd help." "Any oracle can give you a reading," replied Yen Olass. "I told Alagrace an oracle couldn't help me," said the Ondrask. "I told him I wasn't interested in a reading. But he told me you'd do better than that. He told me you'd fix it." "What?" said Yen Olass. She was genuinely shocked, and it took a lot to shock her. She would play a greater part in the fate of the Collosnon Empire than any oracle had ever imagined. Also previously published as The Oracle.
