For fourteen years, Talon has served the witch Thereya, self-proclaimed Queen of the Shadow World. Now the witch has gained the power to break her exile and return to Nubilia. Her ambitions are great, and she sends Talon on a quest to set her on the throne of Sorathale.
Unfortunately, Sorathale is too far away for a conventional journey. Instead he must pass through the Faewood, enigmatic realm of magic where even the bravest of warriors fear to travel.
Then he receives word of a mysterious temptress who lives on the edge of the forest and may be willing to guide him safely through it. But can he afford to pay the price she asks?
