Prologue
I knelt in silence, in patience, right knee cushioned by
layers of rain-soaked leaves. Boot heel pressed against
buttock; the foot within the boot, perversely, threatened
suddenly to cramp. '
Not now, I told it, as if the thing might listen.
My left leg jutted up, offering a thigh on which I could
rest the arm supporting the compact bow. Support I
needed badly; I had knelt a very long time in the misted
forest, keeping my silence and my patience only because
the discipline my father and brother had taught me,, for
once, held true. Perhaps I was finally learning.
How many tones did Carillon kneel as I kneel, lying in
wait for the enemy?
My grandsire's name slipped easily into mouth or mind.
Perhaps for another man, perhaps for another grandson,
it would not. But for me, it was a legacy I did not always
desire.
—Carillon would keep still for hours—Carillon would
never speak—Carillon would know best how to do the
job—
Distracted by my thoughts, I did not hear the sound
behind me. I sensed only the shadow, the weight of the
stalking beast—
Even as I tried to turn on cramping foot, the bow was
knocked flying from my hands. Half-sheathed daws shred-
ded leather hunting doublet and, beneath that, linen,
shirt. Weight descended and crushed me to the ground,
grinding my face into damp leaves and soggy tun.

In the cold, breath rushed out of my nose and mouth
like smoke from a dragon's gullet. Mountain cat.
I knew it at once, even as the cat's weight shifted and
1
allowed me room to move. 'nrere is a smell, not unpleas-
ant, about the cats. A sense of presence. An ambience,
created the moment one of their kind appears.
I rolled, coming up onto my knees, jerking the knife
free of the sheath at my belt—
—and froze.
A female. Full-fleshed and in prime condition. Her
lush red coat was a dappled chestnut at shoulders and
haunches. The tail lashed in short, vicious arcs as she
crouched. Dark-tipped ears flattened against wedge-shaped
bead as she snaried, displaying an awesome assemblage
of curving teeth.
She hissed, as a housecat will do when taken by surprise.
And then she purred.
I swore. Slammed the knife home into its sheath. Spat
out mud and stripped decaying leaf from face and hair.
And swore again as I saw the laughter in her amber,
slanted eyes.
And suddenly I knew—
I glanced back instantly. In the clearing, very near the
place I had waited so patiently, the red stag lay dead, the
fang stag, with the finest rack of antlers I had ever seen.
And a red-fletched arrow stood up tike a standard from
his ribs.
"lan!" I shouted. "lan—come out! It was not fair!"
The cat sat down in the clearing, commenced licking
one big paw, and continued to purr noisily.
"lan?" I looked suspiciously at the cat a moment.
"No—Tasha." Still there was no answer. It was all I
could do not to fill the trees with my shout. "lan, the
stag was mine—do you hear?" I waited. Wiggled my foot
inside my boot; the cramp, thank the gods, was fading.
"Ion," I said menacingly; giving up, I bellowed it. "The
stag was mine not yoursi"
"But you were much too slow." The answering voice
was human, not feline. "Much too slow; did you think
the king would wait on a prince forever?"
I spun around. As usual, with him, I had misjudged his
position. There were times I would have sworn he could
make his voice issue from rock or tree, and me left
searching fruitlessly for a man.
My brother sifted out of trees, brush, slanted foggy
shadows into the clearing beside the dead stag. Now that

I saw him clearly, I wondered that I had not seen him
before. He had been directly across from me. Watching,
Waiting. And laughing, no doubt, at his foolish younger
brother.
But in silence, so he would not give himself away.
I swore. Aloud, unfortunately, which only gave him
more cause to laugh. But he did not, aloud; he merely
grinned his white-toothed grin and waited in amused
tolerance for me to finish my royal tirade.
And so I did not, having no wish to band him further
reason to laugh at me, or—worse—to dispense yet an-
other of his ready homilies concerning a prince's proper
behavior.
I glared at him a moment, unable to keep myself from
that much. I saw the bow in his hands and the red-
fletched arrows poking up from the quiver behind his
shoulder. And looked again at the matching arrow in the
ribs of the red king stag.
Conversationally, I pointed out, "Using your lir to
knock me half-silly was not within the rules of the
competition."
"There were no rules," he countered immediately.
"And what Tasha did was her own doing, no suggestion
of mine—though, admittedly, she was looking after my
interests." I saw the maddening grin again; winged black
brows rose up to disappear into equally raven hair.
"And her own, naturally, as she shares in the kill."
"Of course," I agreed wryly. "You would never set
her on me purposely—"
"Not for a liege man to do," he agreed blandly, with
an equally bland smile. Infuriating, is my older brother.
"You ought to teach her some manners." I looked at
the mountain cat, not at my brother. "But then, she has
arrogance enough to match yours just as she is, so I am
sure you prefer her this way."
lan, laughing—aloud this time—did not answer. Instead
he knelt down by the stag to inspect his kill. In fawn-
colored leathers he blended easily into the foliage and
fallen leaves. Another man, lacking the skills I have
learned, would not have seen lan at all, until he moved.
Even then, I thought only the glint of gold on his bare
arms would give him away.
I should have known. I should have expected it. All a
3
man has to do is look at him to know he is the better
hunter. Because a man, looking at my brother, wul see
a Cheysuli warrior.

But a man, looking at me. will see only a fellow
Homanan. Or Carillon, until he looks again.
For all we share a Cheysuli father, lan and I share not
a whit of anything more. Certainly not in appearance.
lan is all Cheysuli: black-haired, dark-skinned, yellow-
eyed. And I am all Homanan: tawny-haired, fair-skinned,
blue-eyed.
It may be that in a certain gesture, a specific move-
ment, lan and I resemble one another. Perhaps in a turn
of phrase. But even that seems unlikely. lan was Keep-
raised, brought up by the clan, I was bom in the royal
palace of Homana-Mujhar, reared by the aristocracy.
Even our accents differ a little: he speaks Homanan with
the underlying tilt of the Cbeysuli Old Tongue, frequently
slipping into the language altogether when forgetful of
his surroundings; my speech is always Homanan, laced
with the nuances of Mujhara, and almost never do I fall
into the Old Tongue of my ancestors.
Not that I have no wish to. I am Cheysuli as much as
lan—well, nearly; he is half, I claim a Quarter—and yet
no man would name me so. No man would ever look into
my face and name me, in anger or awe, a shapechanger,
because I lack the yellow eyes. I lack the color entirely;
the gold, and even the language.
No. No shapechanger, the Cheysuli Prince of Homana.
Because in addition to lacking Cheysuli looks, I also
lack a lir.
One
I think no one can fully understand what pain and futility
and emptiness are. Not as / understand them: a man
without a lir. And what of them I do understand comes
not of the body but of the spirit. Of the soul. Because to
know oneself a lirless Cheysuli is an exquisite sort of
torture I would wish on no man, not even to save myself.
My father was young, too young, when he received his
Ur, and then he bonded with two: Taj and Lom, falcon
and wolf. lan was fifteen when he formed his bond with
Tasha. At ten. / hoped I would be as my father and
receive my Ur early. At thirteen and fourteen I hoped I
would at least be younger than lan, if I could not mimic
my father. At fifteen and sixteen I prayed to all the gods
I could to send me my lir as soon as possible, period, so I
could know myself a man and a warrior of the dan. At
seventeen, I began to dread it would never happen,
never at all; that T would live out my life a lirless Cheysuli,
only half a man, denied all the magic of my race.
And now, at eighteen, I knew those fears for truth.
lan still knelt by the king stag. Tasha—lean, lovely,
lissome Tasha—flowed across the clearing to her Ur and
rubbed her head against one bare arm. Automatically
lan supped that arm around her, caressing sleek feline
file:///D|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry/D...rack%20Of%20The%20White%20Wolf%20(v%20UC).txt (4 of 315) [2/2/2004 2:41:48 AM]
file:///D|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry/Desktop/Roberson,%...CLES%2004%20-%20Track%20Of%20The%20White%20Wolf%20(v%20UC).txt
head and tugging affectionately at tufted ears. Tasha
purred more loudly than ever, and I saw the distracted
smile on lan's face as he responded to the mountain cat's
affection. A warrior in communion with his Ur is much
like a man in perfect union with a woman; another man,
shut out of either relationship, is doubly cursed . . . and
doubly lonely.
I turned away abruptly, knowing again the familiar
7
uprush of pain, and bent to recover my bow. The arrow
was broken; Tasha's mock attack had caused me to fall
on it. A sore hip told me I had also rolled across the
bow. But at least the soreness allowed me to think of
things other than my brother and his lir.
I have never been a sullen man, or even one much
given to melancholy. Growing up a prince and heir to the
throne of Homana was more than enough for most;
would have been more than enough for me, were I not
Cheysuli-born. But Uriessness—and the knowledge I would
remain so—had altered my life. Nothing would change it,
not now; no warrior in all the clans had ever reached his
eighteenth birthday without receiving his lir. Nor, for
that matter, his seventeenth. And so I tried to content
myself with my rank and title—no small things, to the
Homanan way of thinking—and the knowledge that for
all I lacked a fir, I was still Cheysuli. No one could deny
the Old Blood ran in my veins. No one. Not even the
shar tahl^ who spoke of rituals and traditions very care-
fully indeed when he spoke of them to me, because—for
all 1 lacked a lir—1 still claimed the proper line of de-
scent. And that line would put me on roe Lion Throne of
Homana the day my rather died.
That, at least, was something my brother could not lay
claim to—not that he would wish to. Being bastard-bom of
my father's Cheysuli meijha—light woman, in Homanan—
attached no stigma to him in the clans. Cheysuli do not
Slace such importance on legitimacy; in the clans, the
irth of another Cheysuli is all that counts, but as far as
the Homanans were concerned, Donal's eldest son was
tolerated among the Homanan aristocracy only because
he was the son of the Mujhar.
And so lan, as much as myself, knew what it was to
lack absolute acceptance. It was, I suppose, his own part
of the discordant harmony in an otherwise pleasing mel-
ody. It only manifested itself for a different reason-
"Niall—?" lan rose with the habitual grace I tried to
emulate and could not; I am too tall, too heavy, I lack
the total ease of movement born in so many Cheysuli.
"What is it?"
I thought I had learned to mask my face, even to lan.
It served no purpose to tell him what torture it was to see
my brother with his fir, or my father with his. Most of the

time it remained a dull ache, and bearable, as a sore
tooth is bearable so long as it does not turn rotten in the
jaw. But occasionally the tooth throbs, sending pain of
unbearable intensity through my mind; my mask had
slipped, and lan bad seen the face I wore behind it.
"Rujho—" so quickly he slipped into the Old Tongue—
"are you ill?"
"No." Abrupt answer, too abrupt; I inspected the bow
again, for want of another action to cover my brief slip.
"No, only— " I sought a lie to cover up the pain '*—only
disappointed. But I should know better than to match
myself against you in something so—" I paused—"so
Cheysuli as hunting a stag. You have only to take lir-
shape, and the contest is finished."
lan indicated the arrow. "No fir-shape, rujho. Only
human form." He smiled, as if he knew we joked, but
something told me he knew well enough what had
prompted my discomfiture. "If it pleases you, Niall, I
will concede. Without Tasha's interference, you might
well have taken the stag."
I laughed at him outright. "Oh, aye, might have. Such
a concession, rujho\ You will almost have me believing I
know what I am doing."
"You know what I taught you, my lord." lan grinned.
"And now, if you like, I will- go fetch the horses as a
proper liege man so we may escort the dead king home
in honor."
"To Homana-Mujhar?" The palace was at least two
hours away; rain threatened again.
"No, I thought Clankeep. We can prepare the stag
there for a proper presentation. Old Newlyn knows all
the tricks." lan bent down and with a quick twist re-
moved the unbroken arrow from between the ribs of the
stag. "Clankeep is closer, for all that."
I shut my mouth on an answer and did not say what I
longed to: that I much preferred the palace. Clankeep is
Cheysuli; liriess, I am extremely uncomfortable there. I
avoid it when I can.
lan glanced up. "Niall, it is your home as much as
Mujhara." So easily he read me, even by my silence.
I shook my head. "Homana-Mujhar is my place.
Clankeep is yours." Before he could speak I turned
9
away. "I will get the horses. My legs are younger than
yours."
It is an old Joke between us, the five years that sepa-
rate us, but for once he would not let it go. He stepped
across the dead king stag and caught my arm.
"NialL" The levity was banished from his face. "Rujho,
file:///D|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry/D...rack%20Of%20The%20White%20Wolf%20(v%20UC).txt (6 of 315) [2/2/2004 2:41:48 AM]
file:///D|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry/Desktop/Roberson,%...CLES%2004%20-%20Track%20Of%20The%20White%20Wolf%20(v%20UC).txt
I cannot pretend to know what it is to lack a Ur. But
neither can I pretend your lack does not affect me."
"Does it?" Resentment flared up instantly, surprising
even me with its intensity. But this was intrusion into an
area of my life he could not possibly understand. "Does
it affect you, lan? Does it disturb you that the warriors of
the clan refer to me as a Homanan instead of a Cheysuli?
Does it affect you that if they could, they would petition
the shar tahl to have my birth-rune scratched off the
permanent birth-lines?" His dark face went gray as death,
and I realized he had not known I was aware of what a
few of the more outspoken warriors said. "Oh, rujfw, I
know I am not alone in this. I know it must disturb
you—a full-fledged Cheysuli warrior and a member of
Clan Council—in particular: that the man intended to
rule after Donal lacks the gifts of the Cheysuli. How
could it not? You serve the prophecy as well as any
warrior, and yet you look at me and see a man who does
not fit. The link that was not forged." It hurt me to see
the pain in his yellow eyes; eyes some men still called
bestial. "It affects you, it affects our sister, it affects our
father. It even affects my mother.'*
lan's hand fell away from my arm. "Aislinn? How?"
His tone was unguarded; I heard the note of astonish-
ment in his voice. No, he would not expect my lack of a
Ur to affect my mother. How could it, when the Queen of
Homana was fully Homanan herself, without a drop of
Cheysuli blood?
How could he, when there was so little of affection
between them? Not hatred; never that. Not even a true
disliking of one another. Merely—toleration. A mutual
apathy.
Because my mother, the Queen, recalled too clearly
that what love my father had to offer had been given
freely to his Cheysuli meijha, lan's mother, and not to
the Homanan princess he had wed.
At least, not then.
10
I smiled, albeit wryly, and more than a little resigned.
"How does it affect my mother? Because to her, my
lacking a lir emphasizes a certain other bloodline in me.
It reminds her mat in addition to looking almost exactly
like her father, I reflect all his Homanan traits. No CheysuU
in me, oh no; I am Homanan to the bone. I am Carulon
come again."
The last was said a trifle bitterly; for all I am used to
the fact I look so much like my grandsire, it is not an
easy knowledge. I would sooner do without it.
lan sighed. "Aye. I should have seen it. The gods
know she goes on and on about Carillon enough, Unking
her son with her father. There are times I think she
confuses the two of you."
file:///D|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry/D...rack%20Of%20The%20White%20Wolf%20(v%20UC).txt (7 of 315) [2/2/2004 2:41:48 AM]
file:///D|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry/Desktop/Roberson,%...CLES%2004%20-%20Track%20Of%20The%20White%20Wolf%20(v%20UC).txt
I shied away from that idea almost at once. It whis-
pered of sickness; it promised obsession. No son wishes
to know his mother obsessed, even if she is.
And she was not. She was not.
"dankeep," I said abruptly. "Well enough, then let us
go. We owe this monarch more than a bed of leaves and
bloodied turf."
A muscle ticked in lan's jaw. "Aye," he said tersely;
no more.
I went off to fetch the horses.
Once, individual keeps had been scattered through-
out Homana, springing up like toadstools across the land.
Once, they had even reached a finger here and there into
neighboring Ellas, when Shame's qu'mahlin had been in
effect. The purge had resulted in the destruction of
Cheysuli holdings as well as much of the race itself; later
the Solindish king, Bellam, had usurped the Lion Throne
and laid waste to Homana in the name of Tynstar, Ihlini
sorcerer, and devotee of the god of the netherworld.
With Carillon in exile and the Cheysuli hunted by
Solindish, Ihlini and Homanan alike, what remained of
the Cheysuli was nearly destroyed completely. The keeps
had been sundered into heaps of shattered stone and
shreds of painted cloth.
My legendary grandsire had, thank the gods, come
home again to take back his stolen throne; his return
ended Solindish and Ihlini domination and Shaine's purge.
Freed of the threat of extirpation, the Cheysuli had also
11
come home from secret keeps and built Homanan ones
again. Clankeep itself, spreading across the border be-
tween woodlands and meadowlands, had gone up after
Donal succeeded to the Lion on Carillon's death. And
though the Cheysuli were granted freedom to live where
they chose after decades of outlawry, they still preferred
the closeness of the forests. Clankeep, ringed by un-
mortared walls of undressed, gray-green stone, was the
closest thing to a city the Cheysuli claimed.
As always, I felt the familiar admixture of emotions as
we entered the sprawling keep: sorrow—a trace of
trepidation—a fleeting sense of anger—an undertone of
pride. A skein of raw emotions knotted itself inside my
soul . . . but mostly, more than anything, I knew a tre-
mendous yeanling to belong as Ion belonged.
Clankeep is the heart of the Cheysuli, regardless that
my father rules from Homana-Mujhar. It is Clankeep
that feeds the spirit of each Cheysuli; Clankeep where
the shar tahls keep the histories, traditions and rituals
dear of taint. It is here they guard the remains of the
prophecy of the Firstborn, warding the fragmented hide
with all the power they can summon.
file:///D|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry/D...rack%20Of%20The%20White%20Wolf%20(v%20UC).txt (8 of 315) [2/2/2004 2:41:48 AM]

And it was here at Clankeep that Niall of Homana
longed to spend his days, for all be was prince of the land.
Because then he would be Cheysuli.
The rain began again, though falling with less force
than before. This was more of a mist, kiting on the wind.
Sheets of it drifted before my horse, shredded by the gusts.
It muffled the sounds of the Keep and drove the Cheysuli
inside their painted pavilions.
Except for Isolde. I should have known; 'Solde adores
the rain, preferring thunder and lightning in abundance.
But this misting shower, I knew, would do; it was better
than boring sunlight.
"lan! Niall! Both my rufholU at once?" She wore
crimson, which was like her; it stood out against the
damp grayness of the day as much as her bright ebul-
lience did. I saw her come dashing through the drifting
wet curtains as if she hardly felt them, damp wool skirts
gathered up to show off furred boots of sleek dark otter
pelt. Silver bells rimmed the cuffs of the boots, chiming
as she ran. Matching bells were braided into thick black
12
hair; like lan, she was all Cheysuli. Even to the Old
Blood in her veins.
"What is this?" She stopped as we did, putting out a
hand to push a questing wet muzzle from her face; lan's
gray stallion was a cunous sort, and oddly affectionate
toward our sister. But then, perhaps it was the magic in
her showing. "The king stag!" Yellow eyes widened as
she looked up at lan and me. "How did you come by
this?"
'Solde seemed untroubled by the rain, falling harder
now, that pasted hair against scalp and dulled the shine
of all her bells. One hand still on the stallion's muzzle,
she waited expectantly for an explanation.
I blew a drop of water off the end of my nose. " 'Solde,
you have eyes. The king stag, aye, and brought down by
lan's hand—" I paused "—in a manner of speaking.*'
lan glared. "What nonsense is this? 7n a manner of
speaking.^ I took him down with a single arrow! You
were there."
"How kind of you to recall it." I smiled down at
'Solde. "He set Tasha on me the moment I prepared to
loose my own arrow, and the cat spoiled my shot."
'Solde laughed, smothered it with a hand, then at-
tempted, unsuccessfully, to give lan a stem glance of
remonstration. At three years younger than lan and two
years older than I, she did what she could to mother us
both- Though I had my own mother in Homana-Mujhar,
'Solde and lan did not; Sorcha was long dead.
Rain fell harder yet. My chestnut gelding snorted and

file:///D|/Documents%20and%20Settings/harry/Desktop/Roberson,%...CLES%2004%20-%20Track%20Of%20The%20White%20Wolf%20(v%20UC).txt
shook himself. Jostling all my bones. I was already a
trifle stiff from Tasha's mock attack; I needed no further
reminding of human fragility. " 'Solde, do you mind if
we go into lan's pavilion? You may like the rain, but we
have been out in it longer than I prefer."
Her slim brown fingers caressed the crown bedecking
the king stag's head. "So fine, so fine ... a gift for our
jehanT' She asked it of lan, whose stallion bore the stag
before the Cheysuli saddle.
"He will be pleased, I think," lan agreed " 'Solde,
Niall has the right of it. I will shrink like an old wool
tunic if I stay out in this downpour a moment longer."
'Solde stepped aside, shaking her head in disappoint-
ment, and all the bright bells rang. "Babies, both of
13
you, to be so particular about the weather. Warriors
must be prepared for anything. Warriors never complain
about the weather. Warriors—"
" 'Solde, be still," lan suggested, calmly reining his
stallion toward the nearest pavilion. "What you know of
warriors could be fit into an acorn."
"No," she said, "at least a walnut. Or so Ceinn tells
me."
The stallion was stopped short, so short my own mount
nearly walked into the dappled rump, which is not some-
thing I particularly care to see happen around lan's prickly
stallion. But for once the gray did nothing.
lan, however, did. "Ceinn?" He twisted in the saddle
and looked back at our smug-faced sister- "What has
Ceinn to say about how much you know of warriors?"
"Quite a lot," she answered off-handedly. "He has
asked me to be bis cheysula."
"Cemn?" lan, knowing the warriors better than I, could
afford to sound astonished; all I could do was stare. "Are
you sure he said cheysula and not meijha?"
"The words do have entirely different sounds," 'Solde
told him pointedly, which would not please lan any at
all. But then, of course, she did not mean to. "And I do
know the difference."
lan scowled. "Isolde, he has said nothing to me about
it."
"You have been in Mujhara," she reminded him. "For
weeks. Months. And besides, he is not required to say
anything to you. It is me for whom he wishes to offer."
lan, still scowling, cast a glance at me- "Well? Are you
going to say nothing to her?"
