Nera was never a princess, but she will become a Queen.
In the lush countryside of the Heledd, Nera was an innocent. But soon the deadly games of Heledd’s great noble families bring her into darkness. She is trapped by her marriage to a handsome but wild nobleman, and party to his schemes. She is at the mercy of her mad and beautiful son, who would do anything to seize the crown. But behind closed doors, her battle for power, for independence, for freedom, and the love of a knight with a great secret, goes on, even as the fires of war threaten to consume her and all she loves.

They say the South is the province of bastards, a nest of debauchery. But the South is the cradle of Men, and of all the lands of Men, Heledd is the most verdant, the most rich. Any Northerner who means to tarnish the face of Heledd will find that it is not so easy to tarnish gold.
Here passes the common knowledge of the region: that Heledd is wealthy, that it is abundant in all manner of verdure, especially flowers and fruits, in precious metals and stones, in the most beautiful women and men in the Lands. Heledd is the birthplace of luxury.
