Forces collide in this final battle for the heart and freedom of Wyndebrel.
Peran, the self-proclaimed king, rules the realm without mercy, executing anyone who dares to defy him or falls short of his expectations. He sends his knights from town to town, hunting for Callie and their friends. Wards surround the village of Farfield, protecting it not only from Peran but also Alis, the Witch Queen of Dumoor, who, like Peran, sees anyone who disagrees with her as a traitor.
Callie, Willow, Elowen, and Edwyn, who read white, refuse to sit by in hiding and watch blood spill across Wyndebrel. Although each of them has their own fears about the future, they’re determined to free the land, for themselves and their people. This fourth and final installment in Callie’s adventures tackles themes of justice, accountability, and making amends as the four friends fight for a kinder kingdom.
Before they can confront their enemies, Callie, Willow, Elowen, and Edwyn first must face each other. Challenging friends and allies to do the right thing is as important to their quest as fighting tyranny.
With the threat of danger looming in the background, the story remains suspenseful as it ramps up to the climactic battle. The satisfying resolution looks to a brighter and more hopeful future.A heroic conclusion to a heartfelt adventure.
