Life in the Order of the Widowed Dragon has never been easy. For
countless centuries, a lone Steward has protected and served the
people of Aachen, living amongst and yet apart from them, never
knowing kinship, gratitude or love. Martin had accepted this long
before he took up the mantle himself. However, his late mentor
failed to warn him that preserving the Pact between Aachen and the
Dragon would break his heart. For it was his duty, every handful of
years, to escort the Bride of Winter Roses up to the Tree of Souls,
to be devoured before his eyes. Duty warred with his growing sense
of injustice, but the conflict had become more personal for him;
the last woman he took to be wed to the Dragon had quietly stolen
his heart, and he has lived with remorse these past five years. And
now, as if the Maker were mocking him, he finds himself falling
once more, for Cassandra, the newly chosen Bride. With only the aid
of Cassandra and her companion Leanne, the younger sibling of his
ghostly love, Maria, and Bishop Vavers, a man whose faith in a
loving creator is flagging, Martin has less than three days to end
the Dragon's reign, unaware that the stakes are higher than mere
star-crossed love or the fate of a forsaken mountain village. For
the first time in over a millennium, the magic sustaining the
Dragon and the Pact is in flux, as the cycle of sacrifice has come
around to completion once more. If Martin can learn the Dragon's
weakness, Aachen can be spared another millennium of bloody
tyranny. However, forces eldritch and political are moving to
abolish the Pact prematurely, which could unleash a greater evil
upon an unsuspecting world.
