Synopsis

Darkness covers the north, since the black mage has begun his assault on the kingdom of Neroche. Legend has it that only the two magical swords held by Neroche's king can defeat the mage. Now the fate of the Nine Kingdoms rests in the hands of a woman destined to wield one of those blades...

In this land of dragons and mages, warrior maids and magical swords, nothing is as it seems. And Morgan will find that the magic in her blood brings her troubles she cannot face with a sword-and a love more powerful than she has ever imagined.

From Booklist:

Morgan of Melksham hates magic, but as a favor to her old friend and mentor, she agrees to deliver a magical blade to the King of Neroche. Soon after she begins her quest, Morgan is joined by a stranger, Adhemar, then by three old friends, and later by a man called Miach, who says he is Adhemar's brother. Unbeknownst to Morgan, both Adhemar, who really is the king of Neroche, and Miach, who is actually the archmage of Neroche, have been searching for the person who can wield the sword of Neroche and push back the tide of black magic that threatens their kingdom. Neither Adhemar nor Miach expected that Morgan would be the warrior they sought, nor that one of them would fall hopelessly in love with her. With the first in a splendid new series, Kurland returns to the world of the Nine Kingdoms, which she used as a setting for two earlier novellas, and presents a superbly crafted, sweetly romantic tale of adventure and magic.
