Over the millenia, the demons very nearly vanished from the world, awaiting some indefinable time to arise once again. People forgot about them, began to consider the concept of demons to be simply stories with which to frighten children. Demons and magic, both, were things of imagination - limited to fireside tales and outside the realm of reality. Likewise, the Marak line forgot their powers, never requiring their use. They continued their stewardship of Durandia, ruling the land throughout the turbulent history, the family often at the edge of extinction, but always managing to leave at least one heir to carry on the tradition.
The first book in an epic series about the Kingdom of Durandia. It follows Tarilani's experiences stemming from her marriage to the evil Grand Duke of Lorigan. Slavery, murder, a coup to claim the throne of Durandia, two brothers who think to carry out an impossible rescue are only a taste of the events packed into this story.
