The Dark Kingdom prepares itself for the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy--the arrival of a new Queen, a Witch who will wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell himself.
And so begins a ruthless game of politics and intrigue, magic and betrayal, where the weapons are hate and love--and the prize could be terrible beyond imagining....
And they know the power that hides behind the blue eyes of an innocent young girl.
Three men--sworn enemies--know this.
Whoever controls the Queen controls the darkness.
But she is still young, still open to influence--and corruption.
Now the Dark Kingdom readies itself for the arrival of its Queen, a Witch who will wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell himself.
