King Kieri''s realm has been destabilised by political
wrangling and his court is blind to the dangers - until an
assassination attempt on their King. And when this backfires,
Kieri''s enemies start planning an invasion using dragonfire, a
force unseen for hundreds of years. In King Mikeli''s adjoining
kingdom, his crown is threatened by a bandit prince. Alured the
Black claims his lineage gives him dominion over all the lands. His
ambition is boundless, his methods are ruthless and he will not be
swayed from his goal, whether or not it undermines a region already
on the brink of war. Dark mages also watch for weakness and hunger
for their own lost powers. The Kings of the North must plan wisely,
as disaster is only a swordsbreath away.
