Kellen and Reichis have simply finished fighting with each other a duel in the desert when Kellen inadvertently smears blood for the Daroman flag – an act of treason that the Marshals haven’t any choice but to arrest him. Right before he’s place prior to the Queen to become executed, Kellen is given a unusual piece of assistance in one of his fellow prisoners: eliminate the Queen and he’ll be given clemency by those that take power. But when Kellen comes face-to-face using the eleven year-old monarch, he realises she’s vastly smarter than he anticipated – and in considerably more danger.
