The Ruins Of Ambrai
''The Ruins of Ambrai'' is a 1994 fantasy novel written by American author Melanie Rawn. It is the first novel in the '' Exiles Trilogy'' and is set in the fictional world of Lenfell. Plot summary In Lenfell's far past, its population is decimated by the Waste Wars, and the ruling class has emerged based on the ability to have healthy children. This leads to a very matriarchal society in which many of the traditional gender roles are reversed, with women holding nominal power with men used as marriage tools with little autonomy (much like women prior to the early 20th century and the onset of modern feminism) The plot centers around a war between two rival magical and political factions, the Mage Guardians and the Lords of Malerris, one who seeks to guide and guard, and one that seeks to rule. In the midst of this war are the four primary characters, Glenin, Sarra, and Cailet Ambrai, sisters who were torn apart after the destruction of Ambrai, their home, and Collan Rosvenir, a M ...

Melanie Rawn
Melanie Rawn (born 1954) is an American author of fantasy literature. She received a BA in history from Scripps College and worked as a teacher and editor before becoming a writer. She has been nominated for a Locus award on three occasions: in 1989 for ''Dragon Prince'' in the first novel category, in 1994 for ''Skybowl'' in the fantasy novel category, and again in 1995 for ''Ruins of Ambrai'' in the fantasy novel category.

In 2014, Rawn stated via Kate Elliot's blog that she intended to complete the trilogy after finishing the fifth book of the ''Glass Thorns'' series.
