Opis

The living and the dead are separated by a barrier and is said to be overseen by a mythical guardian and the Sridodua. Thestyl Ioannu is the Crown Princess of the prosperous island of Lokyeven and soon will become the 11th generation Sridodua, the supernatural intermediary that communicates with the ghosts of the ancestors on the behalf of the living. Ever since the tragic death of her father, Ishan Elis of Aeldenos, Thestyl has acted as a co-regent with her step-brother, Nathyl Ioannu. Recently Nathyl has been deferring more to their cousin, Cregen Dlenrysa, the royal Minister of Defense, pushing Thestyl further away from court. As to punctuate the arrangement, Cregen presents a rare and unusual gift to the king. Troubled by the royal gift and it's implications, Thestyl sought guidance from the ancestors and was given an ominous warning from her father to flee Lokyeven or else face a political coup that could end her life. With the help of her new friends: an apothecary, a legendary warrior known as Gold Falcon, and a stately satyr, she hopes to allude Cregen and the bounty he had place on her head by crossing the Serpent's Spine. These mountains are rumored to house malicious monsters and vengeful ghosts, but Thestyl would rather take her chances with the monsters that may exist there than face the one she was fleeing. Will Thestyl reach Aeldenos in time to stop a war or will she discover an even great threat?
