Some consider me a wise woman, others a witch. Kerdred does not terrify me. I am his nightmare. He made the mistake of harming my family and forcing my great granddaughter into marriage. But, if you think I have vengeance issues, then you should meet Shade’.
The Kingdom of Daranel is under threat. Kerdred and his brothers, Hawke and Tremlin have already taken Korin. Aberrling, the advisor to King Hylaw, knows Daranel is next. Aberrling has plans, back up plans, contingency plans and if all else fails plans. Having been told Kerdred will invade and that if they tried to defend Daranel they would lose, King Hylaw agrees to follow Aberrling’s plan; well at least the one he was told about.
