A Time of War by Katharine Kerr - USED

In the peaceful land of the Rhiddaer, Jahdo the ratcatcher's son stumbles upon a secret meeting between a city councilman and a dangerous, mysterious woman. Suddenly the boy is tangled in a web of intrigue and black magic that drags him far from home. In the company of a blind bard, Jahdo must travel to Deverry to unravel the evil that binds him. But there the boy is caught up in dangers greater that he has ever known. Two powerful sorcerers - one human, the other elven - are battling to save the county from a goddess gone mad. Their strongest ally is the mercenary soldier Rhodry Maelwaedd, a berserker bound to both woman by fate and magic ... and to the dragon upon whom all their lives may depend.
