The Mageborn Traitor (Exiles, Vol. 2)

With The Ruins of Ambrai, the first volume of her fantasy epic, Exiles, Melanie Rawn introduced the world of Lenfell-pristine, untouched, a perfect refuge for the Mageborn, whose powers were perceived as a threat by people not gifted with magic.
Now the lines have been clearly drawn, leaving one of Lenfell's most powerful families divided against itself, with Glenin, former First Daughter of Ambrai, plotting the ruin of her sisters, Sarra, Councillor of Sheve, and Cailet, the new Mage Captal, even as the Malerrisi - under Glenin's leadership - once again begin weaving a web with which to entangle their entire world.

Melanie Rawn, the author of DAW’s bestselling Dragon Prince trilogy—Dragon Prince, The Star Scroll, and Sunrunner’s Fire—is a second-generation Californian who, after graduating from Scripps College with a B.A. in history, worked as a teacher and editor while writing her first two novels. She lives in a small town outside Los Angeles and keeps cacti as pets. She can be found at melanierawn.com.
