"Bronwynn was taken from her home tonight, and unless we get her back soon, the people who took her are going to kill her!" Theodulf Ranig The Shadowveil scepter has been found, yet all may still be lost. Bronwynn has been kidnapped by a vengeful group of soldiers and thieves who are holding her life in exchange for the recovered scepter, Prince Edgar of Cynburga has been captured by Eldwigburg and will be executed if Shadowveil is not returned, and King Wulfgyth has disappeared on a dangerously foolish mission to rescue his son from behind the high walls of the most fortified castle in all Greenwood. The burden of success has fallen to Theodulf. He will begin to discover the unbelievable truth behind the war as he struggles to save his love, his prince, and his kingdom before time runs out. But with the real possibility that all will be lost if he ever fails, his youthful confidence is beginning to wane. With only six days left, Theodulf will have to recover his wits, rally the support of old friends, recruit the help of new allies, and overcome insurmountable odds to save Greenwood from an enemy who will settle for nothing less than absolute power.
