Description
For years, the kingdoms of Duka and Eceriden have maintained a delicate peace, but not everybody is free to enjoy it. The Outcasts have been uprooted from their homes and banished to live out their days in isolation. Dorren is an Outcast with a nasty habit of breaking the rules, even those of his own people. But he ends up with more than he bargained for when he kidnaps the daughter of a powerful nobleman. Sileena may be young and naive, but many are wary of her golden eyes. What kind of dangers could be hidden within her? Thanks to a power-mad king and a mysterious sorcerer, the two nations move closer and closer to war, putting the futures of the surrounding kingdoms in peril. Can anything be done to prevent complete destruction, and will the Outcasts be caught in the middle?
