Fantasy / High Fantasy
Niv’leana saved the world, and in the process, lost her mother. After successfully putting an end to Vorea’s cruel reign, Niv reluctantly assumed the role of high priestess of the Ael’Shanar. Her fiancé Aiden, her best friend Frasie, and the proctor Shareis helped her rebuild Selandis, and bring peace to the region. Eighteen months later, a diplomat arrives in Selandis with important news concerning the Den’tari. This, paired with Niv’s all-consuming quest to free her mother’s spirit from Vorea’s magical prison, diverts her attention away from those in the temple who seek a return to the old ways. Niv departs Selandis on urgent business and leaves her assistant in charge, unknowingly throwing her into the growing political struggle that is consuming Selandis. Along the way, a mysterious man offers her hospitality for the night, setting into motion a chain of events that threatens to undo everything she has worked so hard to achieve.
