Synopsis
In the trilogy's conclusion, Alwyn Scribe, now a knight and trusted advisor, watches Lady Evadine Courlain's standing shift from revered, visionary leader toward something more troubling and zealous. As old loyalties fray and a battle that will decide the kingdom's fate draws near, Alwyn is forced to weigh his devotion to Evadine against his own conscience, and to choose, once and for all, where he truly stands.
