Riona and her father have a secret. Â It’s up to her to travel the continent and find those few who can be trusted to share it and keep a dream alive.

Angharad must help Calum, the 14 year old heir to the Dukedom, prepare for his duties. Â Just a few problems – the neighboring country is attacking, they must find a mythical highly poisonous plant, and Calum isn’t quite sane.
