"What are you?" That is the thought that runs through the King's mind as he finds himself entangled between the Terrifying Creatures that are plaguing his land, and the Terrifyingly enticing Zarina. "Do you have a death wish?" Thaddeus repeats this question as his sister continues to search for new ways to anger the King of Dalustra, disappoint their father, the Emperor, and chase after the Rising creatures that are roaming the land. "Death doesn't scare me your majesty." No, to Zarina, death was just another way to escape. Round and round she plays her endless games until the King steps onto the chess board. She struggles between keeping her brothers happy, keeping the King away, and fighting against the growing threat that is washing over Dalustra.
