It is the Year of Our Lord 1193. James Dunreith, exiled by his leige lord and king, Henry, has returned to reclaim the land that is his birthright.
Branded a sorceror, Dunreith is pressed into the service of his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, to seek out one who rebels against the crown - one who was once his truest friend. Yet more dangerous than any political threat is the plot to harness the ancient, magical soul of the land and turn it into the ultimate evil.
Can Dunreith's brave heart, and the power of queens both faery and mortal, save the land from the predations of the Black Dragon?
