Karel's small country, Lystra, possesses the only navigable river on the southern coast of the Continent. The provinces that surround Lystra want its river trade, and will do anything to gain it-even kill the heir to the throne. So, hand selecting the most capable and trustworthy soldier he can find, Karel places her life in his keeping. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Willful and spoiled, Deirdre sees this guardian only as another servant.
