In the embattled kingdom of Qualinesti, Dark Knights harass
the common folk, and the once-proud Elven Senate moves at the will
of the green dragon Beryl. Even the elf king walks a tightrope
between serving the needs of his people and keeping the dragon's
knights peaceful.
Out of these mired politics a mysterious heroine arises, a
Kagonesti woman of the forest glades and rocky eastern reaches. She
and her loyal band of resistance fighters swiftly become the terror
of the Dark Knights. Known to friend and foe as The Lioness, she is
the champion of the people who have been bled by the dragon's taxes
and ground under the steel-shod boots of the hostile knights.
She is Kerianseray, the king's own outlaw, his secret lover,
and his secret weapon.
