The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassed beauty and grace. THe inhabiting race rose form the seed of angels and men, and they live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.
Pherdre no Delaunay was sold into indentured servitude as a child.

He trained Phedre in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber-and, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze.
When she stumbled upon a plot that threatened the very foundations of her homeland, she gave up almost everything she held dear to save it. She survived, and lived to have othyers tell her story, and if they embellished the tale with fabric of mythical splendor, they weren't far off the mark.
The hands of the gods weigh heavily upon Phedre's brow, and they are not finished with her. While the young queen who sits upon the throne is well loved by the people, there are those who believe another shoule wear the crown...and those who escaped the wrath of the mighty are not yet done with thier schemes for power and revenge.
