To save two kingdoms from a despot's rule, one man must journey
into the unknown, seeking answers to the strange and powerful
secret that so plagues him.
Wyl Thirsk, loyal soldier of Morgravia, has seen his best friend
slain, his sister tortured, and his mentor sent to certain death,
all at the hands of his sovereign, the cruel and manipulative King
Celimus. Now Celimus, believing himself to be rid of the "moral
constraints" of the Thirsk influence, has turned his greedy eye to
expansion ... and Morgravia's neighboring kingdom, ruled by the
spirited but inexperienced Queen Valentyna. As Celimus pressures
Valentyna into a doomed political marriage, Wyl endeavors
desperately to preserve both the honor of his country and the
freedom of the woman he loves.
But fate has other plans for him. Despite his friends and loved
ones becoming increasingly tangled in the evil machinations of King
Celimus, though war with the dread Northern Kingdom appears
imminent and Valentyna is poised to succumb to Morgravia's oily
rule, Wyl must leave behind all he knows and cares about and travel
into the land from which none return, seeking out the bestower of
Myrren's sinister gift.
