The Shade of Ronhu

Rastorad is serving as court mage in the kingdom of Silyanath when nefarious wraiths escape their prison. His charged duty is to protect the reigning monarch, but Queen Alianne has enemies everywhere, some far closer than she knows.

Relationships are tested as the mage council disagrees on how to handle the spreading chaos. Who can be trusted, and who will take advantage of every disaster? If integrity demands it, will Rastorad have what it takes to thwart his superiors?

Meanwhile, on the Island of Storms, the child meant to die in ritual sacrifice finds himself in reluctant service to a band of devious ghosts.
