(Paperback)

Norstalos stands on the brink of destruction. But the three invading armies are the least of Queen Merren's problems. Her people despise their would-be saviours, the army of goblins she has won over. And she must make a difficult: marry Count Sendric to preserve the good name of the Royal House, or Martil, the troubled Champion who loves her.

(Paperback)

Martil and the Rallorans are trying to gain control of the north for the rebel queen, Merren. But the people are turning against them because bards are painting them as murderous barbarians. Desperate, Merren comes up with what may be the only solution - to get the goblins on her side. But this race of primitive men are suspicious of the queen.

(Paperback)

Disillusioned, now derided as the "Butcher of Bellic", war hero Martil leaves his homeland in search of peace. Set upon by bandits, he is tricked into taking a small child, Karia, to her uncle. But the village has been gutted of its people - except for one ex-bandit who has the Dragon Sword, a magical relic belonging to the rulers of Norstalos.
