Newly crowned and unwilling to embrace tradition, King Samwell Valois wants nothing to do with magic -- especially not with Damia, the fiercely capable mage newly appointed to his court. But Damia, who has sacrificed her own ambitions to serve the people of Altriel, refuses to be dismissed. When a mysterious affliction strikes someone dear to the king, Samwell is forced to turn to the very magic he has long rejected, and the woman he''''s tried to avoid. As their reluctant alliance deepens, they uncover dark truths buried in the kingdom''''s past -- truths that no one person can face alone.
