No Quarter

'Alma, even I do not know what he is capable of...' Things couldn't be better for Alma. She's returned the lost Sword to Ambeth and is finally with Deryck, Prince of the Dark. But what's really going on? Deryck is struggling with his father, who wants to control Alma, while Alma is struggling with her best friend Caleb, who doesn't trust Deryck one inch. Plus it's getting harder and harder to keep up with her life in the human world. Falling in love shouldn't be this difficult. But things are about to get much worse... Quests and friendship all fall by the wayside when there's romance to be had. Plus, spending time with handsome Deryck is much more appealing than with an increasingly angry Caleb. The Light are always on about making choices, so they shouldn't have a problem with her choosing to be with Deryck. Besides, he'll protect her from his father - won't he?
