From Booklist
*Starred Review* Elda lived in harmony and prosperity for centuries under the gentle, compassionate guidance of its deities: the Man (Sirio), the Woman (Feya, aka the Rosa Eldi), and the Beast (Bast, or Bete). Then, 300 years ago, Rahe the Mage, the greatest sorcerer Elda had ever known, imprisoned Sirio in a volcano and spirited the Rosa Eldi and Bete to Sanctuary, his northern arctic stronghold. He erased their memories and for ages enjoyed his two greatest treasures undisturbed. Arrogance and complacency dulled him, however, and the two gods escaped, aided by the sorcerer's doltish apprentice, Virelai, who harbored ambitions of his own. During a year spent among men, the Rosa Eldi slowly recovers her memory and understanding of who she is. Her cool, unearthly beauty and enigmatic character inspires all-consuming male lust; once roused by the Rosa Eldi, men generally go temporarily mad. Tycho Issian, lord of Cantara, stops at nothing, leaving blood and destruction in his wake, as he relentlessly pursues her. As men's conflicting desires cross political boundaries, unrest and then war come to Elda. Only the fully awakened Rosa Eldi, reunited with Sirio and Bete, can stop the carnage. The nerve-wracking, intoxicating conclusion of the Fool's Gold series is the fabulous, multilayered, poetic story of a world, full of complex, painfully real, endearingly vulnerable characters, on the very brink of either enlightenment or extinction.
