Plight of an Empire
Tragedy strikes at the heart of the Rundilean Empire. A king has been murdered and the long sustained peace is threatened for the first time since the founding of the empire, generations ago. All the while, to the far north, in a desolate land known only as the Tundra, an old enemy is stirring for the first time in thousands of years.

At the center of it all, Audriel struggles with the uncertainty of who she can trust as plots abound to kill her and usurp her throne. First draft completed. Will be editing hard copy now. Note, I'm in the process of adding character lists at the back of the book for any who might be confused as to who is who.Complete
