Book description
The State laws ensure peace, but at the price of passion. How can a
figurehead Queen and a simple magician bring magic and passion back?
Syra is Queen of the State, bound like every citizen by the Edicts of
Detan - laws that ensure peace, but at the price of passion. Every
aspect of life is controlled by these laws, encouraging moderation and
repressing any excess of emotion. Magic, too, is forbidden except for
simple parlor tricks. The court magician, Gilian, reveals to her in
secret that the State was once Dragonsong - a land of dragons and full
of magic. The dragons were exiled and disappeared, and the magic was
wiped out of the State, and with them all the accompanying pains and
pleasures that make life worth living. Syra realises that the State has
lasted too long in its lifeless existence; an existence that she knows
is not enough. With the help of Gilian, she vows to break free from the
stifling State and rediscover the magic of passion in order to call the
dragons home and resurrect Dragonsong. Aurelia T. Evans is an erotic
writer with a fondness for horror and the supernatural. In addition to
writing, Aurelia enjoys baking, taking late night walks, and listening
to almost every genre of music.
