Synopsis

The story is set within the peaceful land of Arvorig which is governed by the newly appointed Joscelin, Duke of Roazon. Behind the throne of the dukedom, dark forces are at work that will attempt to strip Joscelin of his title and have him banished for heresy. Those who threaten to overthrow Joscelin have forgotten the ancient tale that says if a true Duke or true member of the Roazon bloodline does not hold power in Roazon, then the long banished, mysterious, demon-infested island of Autrys will once again rise and threaten all of humanity. The novel is set within a medieval French-styled society of political courtly intrigue, religious fervor, knightly chivalry, unrequited romance and generous doses of dark machinations.
