Hidden Witch

In her first few months on the Lorynthian throne, Tamyr Thimpor survived internal assaults to her reign, including two assassination attempts.

Just when the internal difficulties have been brought under control, an external threat manifests. Tamyr is kidnapped and transported to the Badlands where she is held captive by a witch and seven demons who intend to take her to Nyv'ral, the mountain city, where she is to be executed.

Val Telt and the Loyal Guard, along with the Meghian witch, Zinoeth, ride in pursuit, but they are a long way behind and there are numerous enemies intent on barring their way. Can Val and his allies win their way through? And even if they can, will Tamyr be alive when they arrive?

There is one factor that can change the odds in Tamyr's favor: her enemies are unaware that she is a witch. If she can keep this secret, that is her advantage.

How is she to do this when she is surrounded by powerful witches and predatory demons? Her own survival, and Lorynthia's, depend on her solving this problem.

The Reluctant Queen must become the Hidden Witch, or all will be lost.
