Her beauty has haunted him since their school days, but she has reputedly aligned herself with the enemy. That is why Damir finds Eliana's offer hard to swallow... moreEliana Daere is the greatest herbalist alive.

The power of the Arch Mage had grown strong enough to reach the woodlands even from where he lay undead in the mountains, and he'd wasted no time in immobilizing the kingdom's defenders. Only one hope remained: a girl, the would-be sorceress Cahira. Her archery was nonpareil, but she had never been able to focus her magic. Upon her shoulders lay the fate of her people... moreThe Heroine The peace of Amrodel has come to an end.

Only one hope remained: a girl, the would-be sorceress Cahira. Her archery was nonpareil, but she had never been able to focus her magic. Upon her shoulders lay the fate of her people.

He was their leader! All Cahira loved lay in the balance, and she and her friends were being sent into the cold north to find a barbaric rogue. North to danger, north to salvation, north to find the... Prince of Ice . less
