Hidden in exile, Lady Ophelia is found and murdered by her enemies. From the eternal misery of Purgatory she is released by the Ancient Bard, a spirit who promises no salvation, and grants her a life more dangerous and terrifying than the last.
By the time she hears her son is still in power, that her grandson Vincenzo is building his reputation in the Tiberian army, she's already mired in the plots of her niece Carmen, a charmingly deceptive woman who will stop at nothing to liberate her clan from the usurping Tiberians.
Dire machinations await both sides. While the Ancient Bard whispers, he awakens in Ophelia a heinous necromancy, a curse that will shatter her sanity or save everyone she loves.

The Dance of Shadows
Uelhara's tale begins in the heart of the Whispering Woods, an ancient and enigmatic forest where the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Born to a lineage of elven guardians who protected the woods from the encroaching darkness, she was the youngest of three siblings. Her mother, an accomplished druid, taught her the sacred ways of the forest, while her father, a renowned wizard, introduced her to the arcane. As she grew, Uelhara's innate magical abilities surpassed those of her family, and she found herself drawn to the darker, more volatile aspects of her craft. Against her parents' wishes, she delved into the study of shadow magic, finding solace in its seductive embrace. Her thirst for knowledge led her to discover a hidden tome within the ruins of an ancient elven city, buried deep within the forest's heart. This grimoire, bound in the skin of a long-forgotten creature, contained spells and incantations that had been lost to time. Consumed by the power within its pages, Uelhara became a sorceress of unparalleled might. Her newfound power, however, came at a cost: she was exiled from her home and family for consorting with the very forces they had dedicated their lives to combat. For centuries, Uelhara roamed the lands, seeking to understand and master the shadowy arts she had embraced. She encountered beings of myth and legend, forged alliances with the unsavory, and battled the forces that sought to destroy her. Through her travels, she grew to appreciate the delicate balance of light and dark, and her heart softened to the plight of those who suffered at the hands of the unchecked powerful. She now wields her sorcery not just for power, but to protect the innocent and bring equilibrium to the world she once thought she could control.Complete
