It took a war between kings and countless bloodshed to build the Sanctuary, a new kingdom created by King Heidel meant to be as a refuge for the victims of war. It took five powerful guardians to continue his will years after his death. And the Garden, one of its provinces, has continued to be a sacred place for the incapacitated and others who are deemed unable to be on their own. But it only took one woman for everything to come crashing down, and everything as they know it will never be the same again. *The awesome background picture for the book cover is from Chris Chamberlain in DeviantArt (http://fasterthanchris.deviantart.com/).
