The court physician saves him by convincing his family that he died shortly after birth and takes him to a distant forest where he thrives, unaware of his birthright and the dark prophecy that looms over him. But as he grows to manhood, Yorath can't avoid being drawn into the violent conflict that plagues the land. Becoming a soldier, he rises through the ranks until he becomes a reluctant combatant in the struggle for the throne. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Even as Yorath wields the power of a kingmaker, the ways of the court are as much anathema to him as the brutality of war. If he is ever to escape the violence and machinations he so despises, he has but one choice: He must confront his heritage or lose the land he has come to love and the peace he so cherishes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCherry Wilder was an important writer of science fiction, fantasy novels, and short fiction in the last quarter of the twentieth century. A writer whose work both entertained and also challenged rigid social mores, her best-known works are the Rulers of Hylor trilogy--high fantasy comprised of \u003ci\u003eA Princess of the Chameln\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYorath the Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Summer's King\u003c\/i\u003e--and the science fiction first-contact Torin trilogy: of \u003ci\u003eThe Luck of Brin's Five\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Nearest Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tapestry Warriors\u003c\/i\u003e.

Her novel \u003ci\u003eThe Wanderer\u003c\/i\u003e, co-written with Katya Reimann, is the first in a projected trilogy entitled Secrets of Hylor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cherry Wilder lived for some years in Australia before moving to Germany with her husband, Horst Grimm, and their two daughters.
