Synopsis
Newly crowned queen of Crotheny, Anne Dare goes to war with both the Church and the powerful northern nation of Hansa even as her own magical abilities grow more powerful and less controllable. A monk pursues an ancient prophecy to its end, a forest knight battles supernatural threats closing in from the wild, a swordsman is reunited with his mentor, and a diplomatic mission conceals a hidden agenda to uncover Hansa's one true weakness.
