Larussi

'Larussi is the appendix to 'A Queen's Heart'. Although the overall story arc of the trilogy is brought to a conclusion in the final instalment, one thread is left hanging. Larussi Samossin is the young girl who escapes from the tyranny of Morgonnun's dark lord, Darank, by the skin of her teeth, only to run straight into yet more horror and bloodshed when his reputedly invincible forces invade Dragotar. There she finds her first love in the person of the young thief, Tammas. At the climax, however, she is left completely alone, having lost everything and everyone. The action moves on five years. Now eighteen, Larussi is a postulant with the Sisters of Mercy, a Dragotar religious order. 'Larussi' is a complete story in its own right. First published under its original title, 'Larussi's Heartsong', this edition is revised and extended.
