Andromeda Hayse has existed as a Wraith for a century, cut off from Elven life – and magic. She is presented with an opportunity to join the young, and arrogant, Duke Soren in his endeavor to put a stop to the growing unrests in their kingdom, and bring peace to their lands. But instead of rising to that challenge, she runs away. Now, 20 years later she gets a second chance. A second chance to make amends for her failings, and to wright a great wrong from her past. Plagued by visions sent by a great Death God, and haunted by memories of her life before wraith-hood, Andromeda must find a way to help the fledgling Duke solve a mysterious poisoning in his war camp. Especially after all signs seems to point to the man that caused her to be a Wraith to begin with. When Duke Soren asks for her help, she accepts, but at what cost? Will she have the strength to fight in a war, all in the name of the greater good? Will she be able to surmount the new challenges and rise to meet them, thus atoning for her past sins? Will Duke Soren be her salvation or her downfall?
