Knowledge finds those who are meant to see.
I am the most powerful mage in Fyriane. Sent to take over the Kingdom of Arlom.
For two years, I have bided my time. Waiting for the moment to strike. To complete the first move, ordered by my sister Slaviya, the Queen of Salistya. My former Queen.
I don’t trust her motives. Nor do I trust the other royals. They’re all out for themselves. Playing their bureaucratic games. Or so I thought…
Until the royal forum changed everything. With fresh faces brings more questions than answers. And a looming assassination deadline rapidly approaching.
I will find the answers to my questions. One way or another.
Throw in a tumultuous love life, I’m having a hard time working out who I can trust. And who is out to betray me.
I had no interest in playing games. I didn’t want to partake in this royal life I have now been thrown into.
But I am here now. And I refuse to cower.
My name is Valare. And I refuse to be a political pawn.
