Publisher Description

More than five centuries after Camelot, a new king heralded by prophecy has appeared. As one of the last sorceresses of a dying order sworn to protect the new ruler at all costs, Alwen must answer a summons she thought she might never receive. Bound by oath, Alwen returns to Fane Gramarye, the ancient bastion of magic standing against the rise of evil. For alongside the prophecy of the benevolent king, a darker foretelling envisions the land overrun by a demonic army and cast into ruin. Alwen has barely set foot in her homeland when she realizes traitors lurk within the Stewardry, threatening to destroy it. To thwart the corruption and preserve her order, Alwen must draw upon power she never knew she possessed and prepare to sacrifice everything she holds dear—even herself. If she fails, the prophecy of peace will be banished, and darkness will rule.

"Intriguing magic and secret passages and steamy bedrooms and evil schemers - a delectable mix of historical/romance/fantasy. I loved the author's realistic touchstone of a legendary well and long-reigning king in 10th century Wales. I was absorbed by the world. Can't wait for the next one!"

    " Not bad, the main character is very intriguing and keeps the book moving- I'd be interested in reading the next one, if only to see how she handles all the chaos around her! "

    " An engrossing story, fairly well written. Focus is on the characters as much as on the plot. I am interested to see how the second book in the series carries on the story. I am a fan of historical fiction, particularly medieval English history, so this aspect was intriguing as well. "
