Book description
Once again the Aurelian Empire is in danger, and once again Valeria
must risk more than her life to save it. With threats from without,
including sorcerous attacks against the soon-to-be empress, and
pressures from within--the need to continue the dynasty and Kerrec, the
father of Valeria's child, the first choice to do so--Valeria must
overcome plots and perils as she struggles to find a place in this world
she's helped to heal. But her greatest foes have not been vanquished.
And they won't be forgotten or ignored. Nor will the restless roil of
magic within Valeria herself. Soon the threat of Unmaking, a danger to
all the empire, begins to arise in Valeria's soul once more. It is
subtle, it is powerful, and this time it might win out! Once again the
