The king is in mortal danger, and only she can save him.

Everybody adores the king's companion with his pleasant temperament and healing powers, and for a time his protector, Sho, is happy. However, the Healer refuses to suffer the bonds they all share, and Sho's mistrust of the outsider grows. Is she jealous of the king's new-found intimacy, or is the gentle Healer a threat? Sho must decide before it's too late.

She has no reason for the hate she feels, but her instincts have never failed before. Sho knows that protecting her king will be painful. She took an oath to defend him against all threats to his life and liberty. Now she must do what she has pledged, even though she knows it will break his heart and he will never forgive her.

In the northern ice wastes the Sturgar watch, learn, and plot. The unwitting spy within the royal circle has shown them the king's weakness, and now they have a plan. It is only a matter of time before they bring the shoken king to heel and once again become the master race.
