Publisher's Synopsis
Although Ahkdo and Kiv find themselves in radically different situations, one a king and the other a captive, their choice is the same. Will they follow their deeply held principles down whatever path they lead, or will they allow themselves to break free of the chains that bind them? On the periphery of their emotional struggle, the old enemy of the Kinmark family has returned. Will the sons of Guoryden reunite their father's kingdom and stop that dark hand from spreading its shadow across a new continent? Will they have help from those they have called their enemies? Only time will tell.
