The shadow. A Waniand mercenary, cowled in black, dark and forbidding. Preece the Warmonger, also called the Royal Blade. Rumors about him suggest the creature beneath the black cowl is not entirely human. Starlight. A woman of bright gentian tresses and rare beauty, promised in marriage to the prince regent of another realm. Given in wedlock not as a cherished prize but as a secret weapon meant to topple the reigning monarchy...Unless the Warmonger can find a way to prevent the marriage, even if it means risking both their lives in an act of outright treason. Even if it means losing Moreya herself, his memory, his very reason for living. Yet Destiny has waited for just this turn in the wheel of time and human events. A prophecy must be fulfilled, the future of ancient bloodlines secured. Preece must return to reclaim all he once lost - including Moreya, the Yune beauty with the trusting innocence of a child and the courageous heart of a dragon.

Found this little gem on amazon for free Loved the story and characters Read it in one sitting Only wished there was a glossary cause some of the terms were new to me and kindle dictionary didn't explain what the words meant Story was in old English similar to Shakespeare but I still found it easy to follow, a lot easier than Shakespeare as only the spoken words were old English while it was narrated in current lingo I loved this, it made it easy for me to understand and not put so much effort in to trying to follow along Great book
With everything going on in this book it should have been great, but somehow it just didn't do it for me. There is magic a lovestory even dragons. Just a fair book .
