Book Three of the Wayenor Saga. Traditions are handed down from generation to generation, -but not all traditions are admirable. Real and imagined slights, injured pride, even lust for revenge can form part of a family's heritage. When enemies know how to hide their bitter grievances, they have the power to make themselves undetectable. How can the Countess of Wayenor defend herself against deadly foes that she doesn't even know exist? Whether for good or ill, it falls to each new generation to carry on from the work of those who have gone before-and, more often than not, to pay in blood and treasure for the mistakes of their forebears. Questions of rights and succession, loyalty and honor, are never settled once and for all. Vannessa must battle for herself, for her castle, and for the preservation of her sovereign's kingdom-or else there will be very little left worth inheriting for Wayenor's Children.
