Shrouded Hope

A healer intent on saving a city.
An exiled prince forced back to his homeland.
War is looming...will the shadows take them all?

Sioned arrives in Tusta to find a city half conquered. Sorcerers control most of the nobles, citizens are being stolen from their homes...and only Sioned and her friends know just how dangerous the newly arrived "healers" are. While her friends gather allies, Sioned strives to save the lives the sorcerers leave broken in their wake. But no matter how many people she frees, the sorcerers keep taking. Thousands of lives are at stake, and only Sioned has the power to break the sorcerers' enchantments. But is she enough?
Henry never intended to return to his homeland. The country of Ecleath, and his place within it, belong to a past he longs to forget. But it seems people haven't forgotten about him. The sorcerers who hold his chains also tell him legends...legends that say Henry will return to take the throne. Henry has no interest in being a legend or a king, but these sorcerers have fought for too many years to bring their chosen king to the throne to give up easily. They're determined to twist Henry to fit their legends, by whatever means necessary. And Henry is left fighting a lonely battle against more than his captors.
Darkness is closing in. While Sioned and her friends fight to free a city, they learn that larger plans are at work...plans to build an army. And from his prison, Henry discerns that his captors don't just seek a king: they seek a warrior. The more they learn, the more they realize that the sorcerers' plans are coming to a head. They're preparing for a war...one few in Agon are prepared to face. Is there any hope that they'll reach the coming dawn? Or will this shroud cover them all?
