For years the Empress of Namorn has pressed her young
cousin, Lady Sandrilene fa Toren, to visit her vast lands
within the Empire's borders. Sandry has avaoided the
invitation for as long as it was possible. Now, as is her
right, the Empress has insisted.
Sandry's uncle promises guards to accompany her. But
they're hardly a group of warriors! They're her old
friends from Winding Circle: Daja, Tris, and Briar. Sandry
hardly knows them now. They're grown up and grown apart.
Sandry isn't sure they'll ever find their old connection
again -- or she she even wants to.
When they arrive at the palace, it slowly dawns on Sandry
why the Empress has really brought her to Namorn. She's
set a cunning trap to keep Sandry in the brutal Empire
forever, a simpering courtier in her cousin's court and
the miserable wife of a noble.
The Empress has wily and powerful mages on her side. But
so, of course, does Sandry...if she can get them to work
together.
