Author Description

The Crown Princess Samantha and peasant sorcerer Robrek struggle to solidify their rule in the aftermath of the king's murder. They are opposed by those who seek power for themselves and desire to prevent their marriage. As if that wasn't enough, a deadly curse begins to spread throughout Korthlundia. While Samantha fights against priests, enemies and her closest advisors, Robrek sets off to discover the source of the curse. He learns the reason the goddess chose him as king: to defeat the Soul Stone, a stone capable of sucking the soul out of its victims. Their archenemy, the Bard Alvabane, awakens the Soul Stone and plans to use its power to reclaim Korthlundia for her people, a people driven out over a thousand years ago by the hero Armunn. Armunn had to sacrifice his life and soul to contain the Soul Stone. Will Robrek have to do the same?
