TWO SHORT YEARS have passed since Princess Ki'leah Alrhiane
Del'Sivahr solved the ancient riddle that prevented Lyarra Val'rahimir
from gaining a dangerous foothold on Si'vad—hardly enough time to
prepare for the responsibilities of ruling a kingdom. Nevertheless, with
her mother ailing from the same illness that felled her father, Ki'leah must
assume her birthright as Queen of Si'vad.  
Adjusting to her new role amidst a whirlwind of court politics, scheming
nobles and marriage proposals is difficult enough, but soon Ki'leah must
also contend with a series of unforeseen events and tragedies that test
the limits of her endurance.  Through it all, Ki'leah must question whom
to trust, as circumstances lead her to doubt the loyalty of those closest
to her.  When evidence reaches her of an ancient threat gathering on
her southern border, Ki'leah is forced to make a difficult and dangerous
choice: one that could irrevocably alter the futures of everything—and
everyone—she holds dear.
