An epic fantasy about surviving abuse, seeking justice, and the power of love...

"Thievery and beauty, humor and peril, love and betrayal…kept me turning the page to see what would happen next." ~ Amazon Reader *****

The mystic, Prince Khael, lives within a maelstrom of deceit—usurped from his kingdom by the man he trusted, robbed of his royal signet ring, and denied access to his kingdom. An evil charlatan twists the very history of his land to manipulate the minds of his people, and the path to his lost throne is choked with menace, both human and monster. Only his loyal bodyguard, Grant, remains at his side… until...

Vixen has stolen a prince's ring. Unable to remember her past, she's been living among the street urchins, but her fierce talent for combat and stealth implies she may yet be much more. When the very prince she robbed contracts her to help him liberate his city, a shadowy path to her own redemption appears—a chance to escape the darkness created by her abusive mother.

Every twisted step toward justice brings the adventurers closer to death in this epic fantasy of magic, danger, and deceit. Only their deepening bonds of respect and love can disperse the shadow looming over their homes and hearts...if they can survive the quest.

For fans of Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Fourth Wing, readers will find themselves spellbound by M.A. Richter's breathtaking adventure, clever plot twists, and masterful world-building, even as humor and emotion catapult these adventurers into your heart.
