All is not well in the kingdom of Bacovia. Despite all that they have been through to get to this point, the reign of King Eryk and Queen Aislynn is not a peaceful one. Rumors of infidelity and betrayal abound, whispers intended to drive them apart from their allies...and from each other. The troubles are not just confined to Bacovia either. Callum, the king of Madelia, continues to plot with his master, Rhys, and there is war to the south. Rhys has more allies than just Callum, and as he advances his plan, there are whispers of unrest all through Obyra.
