Anna has a plot of her own, to kill her creator and be human once again. With a little patience, her lover, the king, may provide her just the opportunity she needs. Drakenhurst is thriving with its new king and queen, but they are not yet safe. Seth knows what needs to be done, though it seems impossible. Dare he follow the only path that has the potential for resolution, and face the very dangers that have been created to end him? With assassins, foreign armies, and meddling gods, what chance is there for the World of Thurr to find peace?
