The Land of Althaedor is one filled with legends. Some from the past and others based on the prophecies of the future. This is the story of one such legend fulfilled. Just as Ruena achieves her dream of reviving the Alodan warriors, her mentor who abandoned her returns with demands. She must become the Duchess of Alodan and prevent her mother from claiming the throne of Altea. However, if she wishes to hold both the Warriors and Alodan in her hands, she must become the Weaponsmaster and discover the secret legacy of her deceased father. All the while her beloved must rise from the status of a commoner amidst the voices of opposition. Fate and love mean little in the world of nobles. Especially when her own mother stands in the way.  (This is chronologically the second book in the series, but each book should be able to be read on its own.)
