Nadir (The Rite of Kings)

Out of mind, out of reach, yet the edge of conspiracy's blade will keep.

Many years have passed since Sehren and Astoria have come to call the north their home. Gone from the clutches within the City of Isle and the Kingdom of Candrama, they have managed to carve out a home for themselves with tenuous bonds between them and the northern people. It is a simple life fraught peril but happiness is found nestled in both the hearts and minds of Sehren and Astoria.

However, although the crown looms far away, its agents remain in action, trying to take advantage of the growing tumult and rumors within the realms of the kingdom. Back in the lands once called home, Eleanor and Rosline find themselves complacent amidst the coming changes. But the new seasons bring shifting tides, and it only takes a small act to stir the hornet's nest into action once more.
