Warden of Greyrock

"It was a nightmare," Robin said. "A-a vision, Your Highness. There was a man drowning in clouds...when I touched him, I saw things, things he'd seen, things he knew." "What things?" I asked. Robin took a deep breath. "They've taken the baroness." "Who? Where?" "Enemies," she said simply. "He didn't know where. There was a dead woman..." Maurey, the half human, half Nightwalker Warden of Greyrock, and Annot, the dauntless Baroness of Oakhold, have settled down in Greyrock Castle; but those who still hate and fear the Nightwalkers threaten to destroy all they've worked for. While Maurey hunts for two outlaws who may guard an ancient a secret, his liegeman Korby begins to uncover the truth about the cult of Yehillon. Their enemies are always one step ahead of them though. Captured by the Yehillon and held as a hostage against Maurey, Annot struggles to survive and escape. A terrible choice lies before Maurey. If he abandons his defence of the border to save Annot, all Talverdin may fall as the Yehillon, led by their veiled prince, finally carry out a long-laid plan to wipe the warlocks from the face of the earth.
