Secret societies and civil war…
After surviving her third assassination attempt, Alshari court wizard Pentandra sends her deputy, Sir Rondal, to investigate the mysterious attack while she contends with palace intrigue. Matters escalate when Rondal and Kitten rescue an elderly woman and her grandson from execution, discovering she is the lost hedgewitch who gave Pentandra a book of cryptic prophecies.
Tensions seemingly abate when the Duke and Duchess announce the court will relocate for the summer season to Vorone. Pentandra looks forward to managing her lands in peace, safely distant from assassins and undead. However, her friend Minalan the Spellmonger also takes the summer off, dumping leadership duties on her overburdened shoulders while he embarks on an expedition. What could go wrong?
Within days of Minalan’s departure, the kingdom plunges into civil war between Prince Tavard’s knights and Viscount Terleman’s burgeoning mage coalition. As battles erupt across Gilmora, Pentandra struggles to control the chaos. Not even Minalan’s return from his expedition brings relief, as he seems deeply changed in disturbing ways.
Now, the wrinkled hands of one very old, very wise hedgewitch may hold the only hope for the future of the kingdom!
I aimed to tighten the prose while allowing the intriguing essence and foreshadowing to shine. Please provide any feedback or requests for changes!
