Queens. Captains. Princes. Seekers. Fighting for their lives. Fighting for love.
The war continues to rage across Austrisia, and the players in the battle for the throne continue to employ magic, trickery, and political intrigue in their quest to rule the land. In the north, Briand takes the splintered throne as Guttersnipe the thief-queen, longing for the man she loves despite everything that has transpired. Prince Jehn prepares for his marriage in a dangerous foreign court. Meanwhile, Kael assembles an elite guard from across the country... and makes plans to pay a visit to a certain fierce, tempestuous thief-queen.
He can't stay away. Even if she might end up putting a dagger through his heart.
