A people born to grass
Behind it all--a prayer carved in the stones of the Great Caravanserai of Gujarat.
Truth must return to satisfy Justice, but Honor without Mercy is merely hubris.
When the king and queen push Prince Tanan into a whirlpool of intrigue, he's left trying to find his way among the common laborers on a trip up the river named for salt.

Between them they will be asked to decide between justice and honor, between truth and mercy.
Between the salt and the grass.
