Sixteen years ago, Princess Halla of Yshrem saved the life of an eight-year-old barbarian boy and watched her kingdom fall to ruin, all on the same day.
But a barbarian\'s wedding customs are unlike any other....
He\'s loved Halla for sixteen long years, and it\'s time he claimed her as his wife.
Yshrem is in turmoil and his advisors have a suggestion - kill the last remaining member of the royal line, and there will be no rivals for the throne.
Mathior has a different idea.
Mathior, now twenty-four, is the fierce warrior king of the Cyclopae.
The last of her line, she exists in the hope that she has been forgotten, for to be remembered by the enemy is to be certain death.
One person has not forgotten her.
Now, she is a forgotten Spinster in a quiet temple, living her days out in solitude.
