But what duty requires, the heart may regret. An evil necromancer has kidnapped the royal twins, plotting to spill their bloodโfor revenge, and to restore his own family to life. Chaos reigns in the capital, and Rhiannon finds herself burdened with a heavy charge: to save the one woman she hates above all others. It will not be easy to forgive or forget that Olwynne attempted to steal Rhiannonโs true love, the handsome apprentice-witch Lewenโespecially when it seems that Olwynne would still be her rival for his affections. And as the necromancerโs intrigues grow more desperate, Rhiannon fears that saving the princess could mean risking everythingโLewen, her mare, her freedom, even her own life.
