In the previous two books, the main heroine—a seeker and diviner—was looking for an ancient dagger and investigating an attempt on the royal couple. In the novel offered here, she faces an even more complicated case. Her fiancé, Airond, who has fallen out of favor with the king, faces execution. He is accused of crimes he didn’t commit. Gloria must find evidence of her beloved’s innocence at any cost, or he’s doomed. But the enemy is very cunning and uses all sorts of tricks. No one knows where he’ll strike next. Meanwhile, unrest and disorder sweep through the kingdom’s capital. To the worrying news is added one more: traces left by ancient magical warriors have been found… In these conditions, the heroine must save her betrothed.
