New York: Doubleday, 1988. 467 pp, 9 1/2" H "Centuries ago, men died for the chance to posses the Ring, to be the master of its powers. But the Sisterhood, which protected it, grew weary of the fighting. At last they fled to an alien planet to keep the Ring in peace. Now, in the paradise city of Parliament, the genetically designed, psychic Rulers possess the power of the Ring, which the Sisterhood still guards. On Earth, the Rulers have reigned as gods for generations. In the Arctic North Lands, Giants twice the height of human men are secretly perfecting the science of terraforming, in exchange for a share of the Ring's might. In the Valley which joins the two lands, thousands of Workers have long served as slaves to Rulers and Giants alike. Though the three races have reached an uneasy truce, war will come again. And this time the Workers will be prepared. Cain of Eastmarch, a telepath who once nearly joined the Rulers, leads the Workers. But to truly claim victory, Cain must first steal the Ring from the Sisterhood - and suffer their curse." Minor wear at bottom of hinges, very small shallow bump on bottom edge of rear board.
