However, the murderous pursuit will never yield as King Rovart has ordered Emma’s death, for she is the runed girl of prophecy foretold to deliver the destruction of the Rovart Dominion. She, and all who aid her, must die. Yet, a fire seethes inside her, an inferno to be unleashed upon the enemies of freedom.
