Guardian of Time

A secret has the power to destroy a kingdom. I have learned this through both isolation and sorrow. My inheritance is a legacy of lies-they flow through my family like poison. Each new morning they become harder to hide. But now my world is in turmoil. The Second Kingdom has already fallen. Demons rise from its ashes, crossing our borders to slaughter my people. Betrayal threatens to consume all I strive to defend. The Jeweled City is on the brink of war and only my marriage to a stranger can slow its tide. How can I choose between duty and love?
