Royal lineage has been kind, thus far, for the two sisters of Cicia. An innocent jubilation from having an uncle as their king and Prince Johan, the girls' father, who would rather they know the feeling of the hunt than merely the weight of the crown, has given them the defiance they will soon need. For some things are not well in the world and the coming of age for London and Pyper will challenge them far more than even the most accomplished princess would face in a lifetime. The once-stable orcish hordes are breaking free from the secluded Darkral, infesting the lands of men and elves once more. But the most devious threat isn't always the one you see in front of you. Fear and uncertainty are at hand and the two princesses, guided by Milal, must journey to Highvale and beyond for answers to questions they cannot comprehend. The elven kingdom of Fylaena Caelora, shrouded in mystery, has been the keeper of secrets for a millennium. The burden of this knowledge though, may be shifted upon those who come searching, with the added weight of their destiny to bear.
