Overview

Young sorceress Aeliana Sempronia has been captured and condemned to death by King Lucius, the most powerful warlock in the land of Antira. For merely to be powerful, you see, is not enough for Lucius. He wishes to be the only power in Antira. Queen Callisto is the only one whose magic Lucius will tolerate. He adores his wife to the point of obsession, though she despises him. Power is meaningless to Callisto. She has spent years longing for something different; something more. When Callisto lays eyes on Aeliana, she finally begins to realize what she has been searching for all this time. Though she is a cold, hard-hearted woman, she finds herself falling for Aeliana; and although Aeliana is standing at death’s door, utterly at the mercy of King Lucius, she can’t deny that the queen has cast a strange spell over her heart. Going against her husband to save Aeliana could prove fatal for Callisto. Worse still, it could mean the death of her son – the only person she has ever loved. The stakes couldn’t be higher; and time is short. Will Callisto and Aeliana find a way to escape Lucius’s wrath?
