Driven by greed and arrogance, her actions will seed the war between her two daughters, Daelyn and Haewyn.
Daelyn will inherit two Queendoms united by a lie and divided by mistrust. To keep her crown, she will fight enemies in the battlefield, but the most treacherous are those dwelling in the shadows of her own court.
Ambition, madness and greed, grief and love will give birth to an unfathomable darkness.
It is a dangerous thing to meddle with fate.
