This is an old favourite and the first Roger Taylor I read years ago. Antyr is a dream-finder, a man from a elite group of people who can read people's dreams and work out what's troubling people. He's trying, and not succeeding, to fill his father's shoes as leader of the Guild and his earth holder, the wolf Tarrian, is getting more and more annoyed with him.
And then the dreams of the Duke and his sons start taking a sinister turn and that's where Antyr starts finding a place in the world that's all his.
