Exiled Heroine Learns Life-Altering Energy Skills
Beware of treachery from false allies.
Exiled from the luxury of her father’s estates to avert potential civil war, Helen Andros takes shelter in mountainous Southern Alta Province with the Altairs, the family of her true love. Helen develops a close bond with her beloved’s mother, Marlin, and cares for his father, Jason during the man’s final days. After Jason's funeral, Maguari the Mist-Weaver warns that the life of Helen’s father also could be cut short if he does not take steps to avert disaster.
Concerns about betrayal prompt another move for Helen to a remote hunting lodge. There she finds and takes in the homeless children of the Sin-Eater and makes friends with their father.
Together, Helen and the Sin-Eater learn from Maguari life-altering advanced skills in energy-manipulation. The otherworldly alien mentor also teaches Helen how to use the green stone and chain together for more rapid and powerful healing and self-protection. Although Helen does not yet know it, her newfound abilities could change the balance of power in Azgard.
Helen's father faces ever more strident political opposition while a false ally advances a plot to slay him as the first step in usurping the Kingship. The second in command of the state-supported Temple of Kronos, learns about the Andros family's hidden royal ancestry, and hatches a scheme to abduct Helen after paying for information about her true hiding place.
As Book Four concludes, the plot against Lord James reaches its tragic climax. At the same time, unknown assailants arrive at the lodge. Helen and the Sin-Eater use their newly acquired spiritual powers to fend them off and flee with the children, uncertain if help from Orlando will reach them in time.
Her hiding place no longer secret, Helen faces the dangerous prospect of returning to live among those who would slay her and others who will betray her. Now, however, she can and will defend herself in ways her enemies find unimaginable and unbelievable.
