THE FALLEN MENDER

 

Assassins are on their way, Prince Jaimin has been told in a dream. But the royals are not the only ones in danger: a fourteen-year-old girl in a white cloak arrives from the south to warn of an imminent attack by a mysterious, fire-wielding army. One war is not yet over, and another looks set to begin.

Meanwhile, Nastasha, Jaimin’s advisor, continues to make sacrifices for her country and those she loves.
