Slavers steal the Valer children, and it๏ฟฝs up to High Priest S๏ฟฝRak and Captain Jisten to hunt them down and rescue the children. In a country where slavery is legal and slavers as common as fleas on a dog, the children๏ฟฝs hope of rescue before the auction block is slim to none.
S๏ฟฝRak๏ฟฝs guards, long on the road, arrive in the city at last and immediately spark a battle and a diplomatic incident. Will S๏ฟฝRak๏ฟฝs sanity, dignity and diplomatic immunity survive?
Bard Tafflynn, also known as S๏ฟฝTyll, arrives with S๏ฟฝRak๏ฟฝs personal guard. He is not pleased by the presumption of the Valer captain. S๏ฟฝRak is, after all, his spouse. Will the bond Jisten shares with Rak prove sufficient to shield him from the irate wrath of the high priest๏ฟฝs husband?
