Child of Prophecy by Janny Wurts
Meiglin lived under the shadow of a death sentence all her life, although she was townborn and kept ignorant of her ancestry. When the shocking fact of her birthright forces her onto the streets at fourteen years of age, she must flee with only the clothes on her back. Amid the tempestuous turmoil of the Mistwraith's incursion through South Gate, these are the lawless times, with clan survivors being hunted down for bounty. Alone, without kin, she has nowhere to turn, driven as she is by a blood-gifted heritage too overpowering to deny.

This story is a suitable start for new readers of the Wars of Light and Shadow series.

"Child of Prophecy precedes Mistwraith by about 5 centuries and shows the antecedent action that feeds into the political deadlocks that exist as Mistwraith opens, and that are, actually deep rooted and quite complex. It will set your footing for entering that world with a deeper understanding of the divisions in society." -- Janny Wurts
