A rescue in most perilous circumstances ; the cure of a poisoned King ; a child's life in the balance; adventure, betrayal, and revenge.
The King is dying. Only Clarissa, the Master Healer, has the ability to cure him, or so claims Trazkathar, the Royal Sorcerer. But Clarissa languishes in the deep dungeons of the Witch Queen Gretel, a creature capable of the most profound acts of depravity. With the life of his daughter in the balance, Kel the Assassin is compelled to launch an audacious rescue, a seemingly impossible task. Little does he know, Trazkathar has darker motives in mind.
