Overview

Book Two of the Landers Saga

When Queen Jazmene of Sarneth assassinates her brother with the help of her lover Lord Toscar and the witch Undene, she hopes to gain control of her ancestral throne. However, the unexpected birth of an heir thwarts her plans . . . for the moment.

When young witch artist Safire of Landers travels with her husband Merius to Sarneth, she no longer fears being burned at the stake. Unlike her homeland Cormalen, Sarneth allows witches to live and women to be artists. She revels in this newfound freedom, unaware that her ignorance of her own talents could prove fatal to those she loves.

When Queen Jazmene takes an interest in Safire's sketches, it would seem to be an artist's dream come true. After all, who doesn't want a royal patron? But Jazmene is no ordinary patron, and Safire is no ordinary artist. Suddenly entangled in an intrigue of international proportions, Safire and Merius struggle to escape the web of deception before their situation becomes deadly . . .

About the Author

As a child, Karen suffered frequent bouts of insomnia. The only way she could settle into sleep many nights was to imagine stories that played out like movies on the dark ceiling over her bed. Since her mean parents refused to replace the TV after the cat blew it up by peeing on the cord, all Karen had left to entertain herself in the lone wilds of the Minnesota wilderness were books and her own stories. As Karen grew, the stories grew with her. One day when she was fourteen, she told her mother one of these stories for probably the hundredth time. Her mother, who knew Karen very well, turned to her and said, "You know, Karen, you keep talking about these stories, but you never write them down. You keep saying you're going to write a novel, but I don't believe that you will." This comment infuriated Karen so much that she started writing her stories down and hasn't stopped since.
