Kurzbeschreibung
Nothing in life prepared Alexis Vale for the path she now faces. When a call in the night draws her from her sleep to an old abandoned church, she never knew how much her life would change. In the days to come she will discover her unknown inheritance: she is the First Athondul. And for a people she never knew.
Ethen'dor, the great fortress guarding the western kingdoms, is threatened to be overthrown for the first time in history. If it is gained by the rising warlord under Belamoth, the archenemy of Aunninguld, a forbidding asset will have been gained to their enemies. All will suffer. Only the actions of one person can decide their fate.
Alexis had had such simple dreams. But now the cries of a war-torn people ever sound in her ears, plaguing her dreams with sorrow, bloodshed; with their very memories.The people of Aunninguld ask humbly that she fight for them, for their children, to give them freedom from a foe that they had helped bring into being thousands of years before. And the sudden appearance of the obscure figures of a shadowed side will stop at nothing to claim her blood or her allegiance.
Can she take the first step into the dark? Can she find the strength to face the bloody ranks of battle, and fight for a world that is not her own?
Can Alexis lose all she ever wanted to give a weary people peace?
