One generation after war had nearly destroyed three nations,
evil was returning. And only Mel Dawnfield's daring
sacrifice could stop it.
The promise of peace rested on this young woman's noble vow:
to marry Cobalt the Dark—heir to a family of legendary
cruelty. With only her uncontrolled spells to guide her,
isolated in Cobalt's solitary home in the Misted Cliffs,
knowing poisoned blood ran through her husband's veins, Mel
struggled to embrace her unexplored mage powers and unveil
the light in her shadowy new world—including the radiance
hidden in her husband's soul. For her enemies were gathering
strength and they would soon unleash the darkest of evils in
the name of war.
In the final battle, Mel's ability to harness her magic
would mean the difference between a harmonious world...and
annihilation.
