WITH NO FAERIE KING ON THE THRONE...

King Hanz of Mensa, once known as the friend of Faeries, is now subjugating them for his own political ends. As famine strikes Raqia and he gathers leaders to his city for negotiations and trade, the master strategist moves his pieces into position.

Rosamond, his daughter, will serve as bait and prize. Valley, his Faerie ward, must bow to his will, suppressing the dark secrets she learns. Rasselas, the idealistic young Elf prince intent on disrupting Mensa's social fabric, is becoming a thorn in his side. Rook, the scarred stranger that no one can read, seems to be of little importance, but Hanz is keeping watchful eyes on them all.

Factors out of his control are threatening and he is determined to make his plans succeed.

And he doesn't care who is crushed in the process.
