They call her the Shining Maiden. Hero to a country that desperately needed one, hope in the face of overwhelming darkness. In service of the Silver Lands, she’s beaten back the forces of the sadistic War King and taken control of a war that once seemed unwinnable. Heir apparent to the recently deceased Silver Lands hero, the legendary Paladin, she is brave, beautiful, and brilliant, everything the Silver Lands could want in their hero. But the threat of the War King still looms. And his unstoppable general, the Fallen Knight, a former soldier of the Silver Lands who struck down the Prince and the Paladin in a catastrophic, tide-turning betrayal, continues to mow down soldiers of the Silver Lands by the thousands. So the Maiden, along with her most trusted and loyal teammates, has been dispatched to travel to the evil warlord’s fortress and strike him down, ending the bloody war that continues to ravage her kingdom. Accompanied by the legendary swordsman Leo “Lionheart” Grenseal , Talia, the young but talented cleric of the Silver Circle, close friend and master markswoman Danika Elza, and mentor/veteran Brik Mintz, she plunges into the heart of the War King’s evil empire, staking the fate of the Silver Kingdom on her sword. Of course, the only warrior to ever defeat the War King in single combat was the Paladin, and his killer is hot on her trail…
