Norivaar has had a long, proud history of achievement and contentment. This wealthy, well-organised, mediaeval nation is suffering under the rule of its mad king, Garvan. Now it stands on the edge of chaos.

Norivaar's Chief Minister, Terana, struggles to maintain order. He hopes, after an embassy to the west, to arrange the marriage of Lori, the beautiful daughter of a western duke, to Perevan, younger son of Garvan. Such a link would serve to stabilise the kingdom.

History blends with EXCITEMENT, ROMANCE and SUSPENSE, resulting in an addictive story. There are no wizards, dragons or the like-just captivating people with real, human concerns in totally believable settings. While containing some violence, tragedy and pathos, this is a feel-good story sprinkled with gentle humour and romantic moments that will win the hearts of its adult readers.

Lori, the main character, is working in the Citadel, careful to avoid the insane King Garvan who has called for her death. Her involvement with several interesting characters gives her the physical and emotional support that enables her to prosper, while hiding her identity from the king.

Lori's progress throughout the story grips the reader as the excitement builds from chapter to chapter.

Lori has the ability to become a future queen.

But can she survive a violent sexual attack from the king?

And how can the chaos, resulting from the king's continuing irrational behaviour, lead to peace and harmony in the land?
