Zendar was dying. Fifty brave men sought to save their dying planet and traveled to the edge of the world to find an answer. Seven returned as changed men, heroes, with powers beyond imagining. Six cities rose up to bring order to the chaos. Haden Corvinus was one of the seven, a man thought to be without a gift from the planet, but only time will prove a man eternal. Un-aging he waited to strike, like an immortal viper, patiently, weaving webs of lies and destruction. Chaos has returned once more to Zendar, and his descendant, the Liege Aleron Corvinus, continues to seek what was denied Haden all those years ago; the right to rule. His ambitions will only be sated when he claims the world under his family's name; he will only stop when all of Zendar is his. Azel Undel was born into this world of blood and sand. She is of a dying Bloodline, a feared one, but most coveted. Promised, in exchange for money, to a man she had never known; Azel travels across Zendar. Her ship is attacked and she alone survives, setting the wheels of fate in motion. She did not expect to become her enemy's captive or that he would demand her submission to him. Loyalties are tested, secrets are uncovered, and Azel will have to make a choice: remain loyal to her family and everything she ever stood for or be loyal to her own heart.
