Author's Note

The kingdom of Yeluacam has been at war for seventeen years. Desperate to put an end to the conflict, King Atalus Stormthrush allows Tyrus Torvik of Thaesos to marry his youngest daughter for the promise of ending the war with his vast resources. Princess Atyla Stormchild, unable to refuse the betrothal, or escape the the inevitable marriage, pledges a binding vow to the man she loves that she would return to marry him. However, this bind has made her part of something larger than her predicament. Learning the truth of her role in the Days of Prophecy, Atyla must return home to Yeluacam, but not to marry. She must come back to rule as Queen.
