In a world rooted in Mediterranean history and mythology,
armies clash, magicks compete, and the gods set their
pawns onto the gameboard. Danica, a warrior-queen, is
forced to form a more-than-political alliance with
Bellasteros, a warrior-king, making his enemies her
enemies. When she rides into battle at his side, carrying
his child, his friends become her enemies, too. Trapped,
with no choice but to play the game to the end, they begin
to re-evaluate their loyalties. And as their worlds are
torn apart by both the clash of arms and supernatural
powers, Danica and Bellasteros discover that only change
will save them and their child.
