Hurtled out of her home by a mysterious force, Cheyenne finds herself stranded on a distant world, which, despite a number of similiarities to Earth, is vastly different. She is immediately either captured or befriended, depending on one's point of view, by Darian, a man of some standing, and his cohorts. Cheyenne is a woman unlike any this man has encountered; women's liberation has not reached his world yet, so her constant challenges confound and fascinate him.

However, because of a youthful folly, Cheyenne is marked as the chosen one, destined to give birth to the one who will bring peace to the warring clans. The lure of her beauty and potential aggravates long held resentments and tempts even friends to consider betrayal. On her choice hangs the fate of a world. To her heart,the way is clear, but destiny may have different plans.

Through an epic scope, a world is born, filled with complex and fascinating people; heroes who have spots and villains who have moments that hint that perhaps they are not totally lost. Of all the epic fantasies, the one this most reminds me of is the Cheysuli series by Jenifer Roberson in tone. Though the story seems to be complete - more than one character did have potential to star as the hero on their own, so readers may have something to hope for.

Synopsis
According to ancient prophecy, a woman will come from Earth to bear a child who will end the warring between the Ramekah and Andreas clans, warring that has plagued the hold folk of Zandar for hundreds of years. On the tail of a magical zephyr, Cheyenne, a young Native American woman, is swept through the doorway of an interplanetary portal and whisked away from Earth in a dazing blur of motion. She's deposited, alone and half-naked, in a valley between the grassy knolls of the Rhian Mountains and the dreaded Goetic forest, just inside the boundaries of Andreas Territory.

It's there that Lord Darian Andreas, ruler of the mighty Andreas Clan and master of the powerful Andreas Territory, finds her. Although Darian is a just man who exercises kindness and incorporates mercy into his method of rule—which, in the barbaric world of Zandar, are rare qualities for a man—he's also used to getting what he wants, one way or another. And from the moment Darian lays eyes on the dark-skinned beauty, he knows she's meant to be his. If the Gods are willing, he'll make it so...
