Dana Illwind has watched Meadowland Kingdom sink ever deeper into despair. Her town suffers under high taxes, the militia has been called away and her eldest brother has been sent as a hostage to their king. The breaking point comes when an ancient horror threatens her town. Desperate, Dana calls upon Jayden, the world’s only Sorcerer Lord and a wanted man. She finds him charming and offensive in equal measure, powerful and ruthless, a man alone and haunted by his past. Difficult and obnoxious as he is, Jayden is her people’s only hope. Jayden opens Dana’s eyes to the suffering of the kingdom as she travels with him beyond her small town. Together they learn that Meadowland is in even greater peril than they thought as evil takes root across the land. Dana and Jayden could be the only hope for their homeland and that of neighboring kingdoms as well.
