All Daena has ever known is the underground library her family has been entrusted to guard for generations. It holds all the history and secrets of Enneduin. And she ought to have received decades of training to take her father's place as the Bookkeeper of Enneduin. But when he dies, she is left to teach herself all that lies in the corridors of knowledge beneath the city of Aerlond. All Firan has ever known is combat and training in King Garrick's army. He learned to wield a sword before he could read and has earned the respect from his men that decades of training demand. His path is well situated towards achieving the highest rank in the army. So the last thing he could have foreseen was being removed from battlefields to stand guard in the dusty, silent halls of the Library of Enneduin. When the Bookkeeper and the warrior are forced to work together to eliminate a threat to Aerlond's peace, they will find that all they have ever known is nowhere near enough.
