Cursed King Fulbert Acharius, Leper King of Ronia, is accursed, abandoned by the gods, and feared by all, yet he lives. He discovers hope in the person of Darlena, a blind musician and, to the king, the only woman capable of loving him. But the king's affliction has brought out the wolves within his realm, and he quickly finds that dreams must come after survival. All seems lost until a group of alien and powerful mercenaries, led by the enigmatic elf Trindol, arrive as protectors-for a strange price: mere books that might hold a clue for curing an ailing member of their own party condemned to die by the dragon's blood in his veins. They uncover the secret of a potential solution for King Leper, though a perilous one, drawn from the bloody history of the ancient past. A talisman awaits in a secret, legendary fortress that could set all to right-or destroy everything-if they can survive long enough to seize it.
