Holwena has been raised for the burden of royalty, and, unlike her sunny-spirited sister, is content with it. She can preside over a council, manage state affairs, and pass judgment on matters that would confound many a man twice her age. But can she unite and revive a country devastated by thirteen years of war? The vengeful ugthoda, a creature like men in intelligence but both stronger and longer-lived, have beset Rothalon for over a decade. As the borders crumble and a thunderbolt of dreadful news makes its way back to the capital city, Holwena tends a dying mother and bids her betrothed sister farewell. Daughter of kings. Alone. Will she rally? Can she stand firm? If she falls, so will the country... Written as the retelling of a legend, Flare in the Darkness explores valor, tragedy, hope - and, as any legend should, a touch of sweet romance. Noblebright fantasy with a Tolkienian influence.
