But everything goes wrong when the Queen and her High Lord prove too strong to take down in combat and Rylan's only way of survival is to swear a blood oath, binding himself to the very people he has been trained to fight.
With Cora trying to rebuild the kingdom and Rylan trying to save it, alliances are made and broken, beasts of whispers and nightmares are awoken, dreams are forged and forgotten, and the dead past rises from the stones. Will one of them triumph or will they both fall to blood and rebellion and conquest?
Long live the Queen.
