The Rai-Kirah Series
By Carol Berg

Berg's trilogy
Transformation
Revelation
Restoration

Follows the story of two men who should be enemies but become uneasy allies, Alexander, a royal prince, born to rule the greatest empire and Seyonne, a former protector of his people and warrior against evil, now a slave of the lowest order.

In the first installment, Transformation, we are introduced to these two men at the extream ends of the society and see how much they still have in common. As their lives become ever more deeply entwined they learn how much not only their own survival but that of their people depend on their both becoming something more than they have been.

If Berg had left the story there, it would have been enough on its own to mark Berg as a worth while teller of fantasy. Unfortunately she wrote two more books to create th seemingly required trilogy for publication that so dominates todays fantasy market. Revelation and Restoration do little to further the characters growth or give the reader anything more than a few more details of the world which she has created.
