Laydya Valeyrian is the heiress to the Valeyrian Fortress., born to an ancient legacy with a prophecy foretold long before her birth. By her side stands Damen, a huge black phantom, her only companion since childhood; Dougal, her godfather and the Captain of the Guards who trained her to handle a sword better than most men, and Lowen, High Priestess of the Order. After the destruction of her home by an unknown enemy, she is forced to accept that her dreams were actually forewarnings she tried to denied, her talents finally coming to maturity at time when she will need them to survive. It will be Gavilan's strength as a warrior and Laydya's determination pooled together that will hopefully outwit Kasadim, the Dark Lord of the Order, before he can destroy everything Laydya holds dear including the only man she is destined love.
