Book Description
Betrothed to the mysterious, disfigured monarch of the mountain kingdom of Talak, Princess Erini's greatest fears revolve around her own burgeoning—and undesired—magical powers. However, she soon discovers that King Melicard's obsession with revenge against the Dragon Kings has led him to initiate a sinister spell, one with which Melicard hopes to summon a demon to do his bidding. Unfortunately for Erini and the rest of the Dragonrealm, Melicard summons back not a demon, but rather the shadow creature Darkhorse...and worse, the mad sorcerer Shade.
