The magical and action-packed sequel to The Swan Harp, this second book in the Wings of Valenia fantasy trilogy follows Princess Kiar as she harnesses her powers in the fight of a lifetime.

It is autumn in Valenia, and times are hard. The queen is no longer herself after the tragic events of the spring. Wild animals have ravaged crops, and Princess Kiar worries about a lean winter for the kingdom. Her sister Adana brings a cryptic warning from the Swan Queen, and the nearby bog mysteriously and suddenly widens and floods the grazing lands. When a messenger from an eastern farmstead arrives to tell the king about a band of inhuman attackers, Kiar and her father take a force to confront the seemingly invincible creatures.

The mysterious intruders fear nothing—except Kiar. After King Tir is injured in battle, Kiar, along with her swanfolk friend, Willow, and intended mate, Tuan, enlist the help of a former enemy and enter the perilous heart of the bog. In a fight for their lives, they will challenge the forces of dark magic and uncover truths about the past and the royal family; everything is at stake—her father’s life, the safety of Valenia, and Kiar’s hopes for a future with Tuan.
