Serpent's Lair

Layna’s simple life has
turned into a fairy tale.  From unassuming
maid to hopeful Queen, having survived the tumultuous world-saving quest that
was thrust upon her...she'd hoped that the birth of her daughter would mark the
beginning of her happily ever after. 

Fate, however, has other
plans.  Taking the throne in the wake of
the destruction caused by King Nathair’s use of blood-magic turns out to be
more treacherous than she imagined.  Her
innocent nature makes her want to trust in her aides, but in reality, she’s
been thrown straight into the heart of the serpent’s lair…

Meanwhile, Katya is still
searching for her elusive other half, without whom she is destined to carry a
terrible curse:  That those she cherishes will suffer.  Already she
has had to deliver the fatal blow to the man she loved, and she sets off alone
to avoid a similar fate for anyone else. 
Her wanderings lead her to discover the existence of a people calling
themselves the Forgotten, and her resolve to avoid getting too close to anyone
is tested when she meets a charming tribesman who keeps thwarting her attempts
to steer clear…
