The Truth can set you free...
or destroy a Kingdom
.
On the magic imbued continent of Irridessen, twin Princesses must forego their delicate sensibilities and reveal the bloodthirsty beasts hidden under their perfect, immortal skin. Only one can win the coveted title of Queen on High - but securing the crown will come at a steep cost.
When a rare flicker of magic flares within the confines of the Slate Kingdom, two disgraced King's Guards hunt for the source - desperate to uncover the identity of a murderer while a formidable enemy stalks closer, determined to stop them by any means necessary.
Unaware of the tension brewing in Irridessen, Lenna wallows in the doldrums of life, struggling to accept her role in a society that demands her subservience and meekness. At fifty-one years old, she reminisces fondly on her youth and the freedom she had prior to marrying a powerful Lord. But when migraines begin morphing Lenna's dreams into nightmares of leathery wings and giant stone beasts, she is forced to confront a reality she never knew existed - before she is devoured by the very same monsters that haunt her.
