To escape, Caitriona disguises herself as a servant but is captured by a Feldian raiding party and is taken to their leader, King Lazzar.

Caitriona's only hope at survival and returning Allendorn to her rightful rule is to liberate her kingdom from the clutches of her new husband.
However, Draecyn has fallen for Caitriona and must choose to follow his new wife or his father. Either choice will end in blood shed.
