But this is not an easy choice for the adopted daughter of the current king of the land. None of these gallant men have caught Elinor’s eye! 

Thoughts of Maxim Gandrud, the son of Rasmus, the Royal Sage, have never left Elinor’s mind. The boy, who left ten years ago, is now a strong and handsome man.

Now she wonders if he even cares for her anymore. So Elinor feels she must look elsewhere for the husband she seeks! 

When Rasmus suggests using an ancient sword to determine who should be the next king, Elinor is relieved to have this decision taken out of her hands. The man who can pull the sword free would be the next king! 

Before this man is even determined, Elinor discovers a plot at play that seeks to take her father’s life. Do not be surprised when both Elinor and Maxim find themselves in the midst of the battle!
