don has a multitude of problems, and she doesn't even know it yet. Her investiture ceremony to be formally installed as the heir apparent to her father is only a few months away, and there is much planning to be done. But behind the scenes, enemy forces are conspiring against her, the inquisition wants to interrogate her, and there are orcs and all manner of monsters on the loose in the Wilds. If she's going to become the first reigning Queen of Perizidon, she'll need more than her wits and some moxie; she'll need allies. Magic may be dead in the world, but political intrigue, lust, and avarice are all alive and well in the kingdom.
