Summary
Ransom Barton and his wife, Claire de Murrow, have arrived in Legault to reclaim the title that was Claire's birthright. Claire intends to rebuild a war-ravaged palace to its former glory and to teach Ransom about the magical history of their new home. But when Ransom is summoned to return to King Benedict, his loyalty to Claire is tested. Fealty prevails, however questionable the king's motives. The ambitious Benedict, who controls his late father's dominion, must prove his might. The warriors of the East Kingdoms have disrupted the trade routes, weakening every kingdom in their path. Benedict's plan is to fend off a coming war through strategic alliances. But it's Ransom's post to keep the king's allies--as well as his poisonous enemies--in line, even as Benedict's defense may be inviting further chaos. As the king's power grows and Ransom's rise in the council is secured, a shadowy conspiracy threatens to destroy everything Ransom has worked to build. Now torn between allegiance to the woman he loves and duty to king and country, which will Ransom choose? --, Back cover
