In this sequel to Kusciel's Dart, Phedre no Delaney continues her service to Namaah and the world it represents. She endeavors to rescue her childhood friend, Hycinthe, who is condemned to spend his life on a lonely island.
To find the path to his salvation, she returns to the city of Elna, where she finds a traitor in the Queen's inner circle, who wishes to dethrone her. With the help of her chevaliers and her lover, Phedre journeys to villas, fortresses and distant lands.
This is an adult fantasy, combining fantasy, adventure and sex. Phedre is a strong-willed, independent woman with a group of intriguing companions. The plot is full of twists. The settings are exotic. The story moves at a satisfactory pace.
