Queen Odelia got everything she wanted-and it just might kill her. She and King Kennard have pulled off a successful coup, but to hold on to their turbulent kingdom, the newlyweds must accomplish the impossible. Subduing the opposition means sentencing Kennard's family, possibly to death. And although the promised heir of Odelia's pregnancy helped them in their coup, no Healer has ever survived childbirth before. Of course, through it all, Meriveria is still at war, not helped by the incompetent military leadership Kennard's father put in place. Victory may require costly and unpleasant alliances, counter to the kind of rulers they want to be. Can Kennard and Odelia hold their composure and bring their people together as they face the prospect of losing everything and everyone they hold dear?
