Book 3 - Trust & Loss With the Drakon King missing, presumed dead by most, how long should his Queen mourn before she can love again. Although her heart aches for the return of her husband, another stands waiting, ready to catch her fall, as he has done since the first time he saw her. When love is lost only pain remains. Loyalty is hard earned, easily broken. The tribes of the far western mountains are home to the Lords of Midnight. As is their right, they demand a long overdue audience with King. But, treachery blows through these cold, conquered mountains, when an old enemy of the crown steps out from the past, bent on revenge. The unity of the Drakon King banner looks to be jeopardy, unless the King presents himself soon. Recruiting a deadly killer to protect the King and Queen proves to be both clever and stupid. If this hired killer learns the secrets buried within a ruined village, destroyed purposely by the purple cloaked legions, a new threat for more powerful than any Roman army will be uncontrollably unleashed upon mankind. It is widely known that love can conquer all. But any Kingdom built upon love alone will always crumble and fall into the dust of oblivion. Blood & Sweat, Hope & Fear, Trust & Loss, all must be known to reach the end.
