Produktbeschreibung

King Damien is a stubborn sort it may take actually finding the source of all the Realm's magick to let him believe that his future doesn't have to be bleak and lonely.

**********

The Lady is the Lake...

The province of Elaarwen has proven to have Her own mind.

And She is demanding that King Damien Alsterling of Ilseador and his Champion, Sir Adam Loveress journey to the Heart of the Realm. There to accomplish some task which She has not yet revealed... or She will reject Adam's existence... and kill him.

Damien has battled storms and wizards and demons. He has survived three failed coups, being captured by an evil sorceress, battling a demon, and the Realm's attempts to eat him magickally. He has struggled to control his vast magickal powers and accepted his soul-bonded Queen bearing a child to another to save her life.

But Elaarwen and Ilseador may now be demanding more than he can give.

And not he, but Adam may be the one to pay the price.

Teaser:

This young woman was strong... and he shouldn't deny her any bit of that strength by insisting she lean on him. Her young man, however...

Damien looked up and was unsurprised to see how grim Angelos looked. But if the boy took away any of Alanna's strength when she was so vulnerable...

"I would ask for permission to call Lord Aldred out in a duel," Angelos said, just as Damien had feared, "but it's not my place. Not yet and... not ever unless Alanna wants it done and chooses not to do it herself."

Damien focused again on Alanna. "Do you want to call him out yourself, Alanna? As Adam says, Aldred is too old and... canny... to accept a duel personally. And I'm going to make sure damned sure that he knows he can't turn to anyone sworn to me or Genevieve to serve that role. Likely he can find someone..."

"And I would stand for you," the King found himself saying grimly. "Assuming you chose not to do it yourself, nor had someone else you preferred."

Adam snorted as Alanna and Angelos gave Damien a startled look. "And by he'll do it, he means I will. Since it's a Champion's job to stand for his king in duels. As I thought we established clearly a few months ago."
