Description
When young Evelyn's home is invaded and destroyed by the ruthless legion of Alderon, the most powerful nation in all of Rayshuk, she is torn from her family and her people are enslaved. In order to stay safe, Evelyn Mallene, rightful heir to the throne, is taken far away and raised in secret. Meanwhile, throughout the land, a darkness is growing. Violent storms and fires are raging across the country. King Alderon has suspiciously lived beyond his years, his strength and power growing even still. The people of the fallen kingdom Mallene are brutally forced to work in the treacherous Mines of Killdrin, causing their numbers to dwindle further each passing day. As Evelyn's nineteenth birthday nears, the time to leave her safe haven in the woods and take back her throne grows closer. Will she be able to save her people-- or will she fall victim once and for all to the dark shadow of the Alderon king?
