About This Book
Rory, High Prince of Failmark, and his cousins Sir Gaheran and Sir Gowan arrive at the quiet home of Harlan Tamlinson and his sister Issenfray to call them back into the service Rhyan, High King of the Ten Kingdoms. Worried about the growing strength of his treacherous father-in-law, Markhan Corvailen, King Rhyan prepares to pit himself against his old enemy. Rhyan is not the only one with plans. As Brynn Ellisand prepares to marry the King's oldest daughter, Mellanie, he meets a love that will change his life. Princess Sendra, Rhyan's youngest child will do anything for freedom, even if it means running off to her grandmother, Arnave, the witch who launched a civil war that nearly tore the High Kingdom apart. Queen Alsyce strives to carve a place of power for herself between her warring husband and father while her brother, the one time beloved of Harlan seeks revenge for the abuse done to him long ago. Harlan and Issenfray, who sought to escape the glittering court of Clearstone Castle, and the sorrow they experienced there long ago are placed in the midst of intriguing kings and queens, scheming wizards and enchantresses, and in the end no one can escape the visions of fire which threaten to engulf the Ten Kingdoms of Failmark, The Hallowed Land.
