invades from the north...and evil sorceries assail the Church and corrupt the bishops who
must choose the new liege. But even if Selia overcomes those obstacles and demonic
magic, Lysandra’s recurring visions portend that the moment the girl accepts the royal
scepter, Selia—and all hope for Aghamore—will die...

Death, I swear by all the black power of the nether realms, that I shall get free. I will
pull this Realm down, stone by stone, until nothing remains. Until no one dares oppose
me again. I shall unleash a fury such as this kingdom has never known.
“All this I swear by every breath I take. Nothing will stop me, not even death ...”
