The Revenants
by Sheri S. Tepper
They seek to answer riddles that have no answer. They are bound on a quest that has no end. Thewston of the Lion Courts; Leona, Queen of the Beasts; Medlo, outlawed Prince; Jasmine the Dancer; Terascouos the Singer. And young Jaer, whose like has never been seen: Jaer, the greatest riddle of all, Jaer who spans the gap between man and woman. They are the Revenants. This is their story.
