Born out of a "fantasy world...too wonderful to miss"* the Nine Kingdoms trilogy now explodes in the fiercest battle yet as the fate of a kingdom lies with a man and a woman bound by love, magic, and a legendary sword.
As the mercenary daughter of Gair, the black mage of Ceangail, Morgan is the only one who can stop the terrible sorcery her father unleashed. To do so, she must race against time and find the spell that will allow her to close the well of evil he opened. But that quest will lead her to places she never dreamed existed and into a darkness she would give anything to avoid…
The fate of the kingdom of Neroche is intertwined with the closing of Gair's well. Miach, the archmage of Neroche, is determined to help Morgan find what she needs, not only because the safety of the Nine Kingdoms hangs in the balance, but because he will do anything to protect her. Together they must search out the mysteries of Ceangail, and the dangers of Morgan's own bloodline.
Now, to rescue the kingdom from total ruin, Morgan and Miach have only each other to trust, heart and soul...
