Magic is fading from Waleschoked off by King Offas Dyke, the enemy earthworks that spans the entire border. Even the dragons have disappeared. And now an attack is imminent.

Even if it means striking a bargain with Dafydd behind Tals back. The fate of Wales depends on their quest . . . and so might the fate of Ffions heart.
