"Wake up. You''re dreaming again." I wake to Mira shaking my arm as we lay in the straw-filled bed. We are taking shelter at the mercy of an innkeeper.

Looking up at the wooden beams and straw-thatched roof, I couldn''t help but feel the loss and despair of that horrific day raining down on me like a thousand arrows. Each one stings with the pain of the intruder''s silver bite.

"One day soon, you''ll have your revenge."

Saffron, a newly widowed princess, has begun her journey to find the sword of Ludwig that will set her free. But her path is not easy. Mira, her lady-in-waiting, is not who she appears to be and only continues to fool Saffron. Although, there is still a glimmer of hope for her as the turmoil stirs. An ancient race of vampires is lending a hand in the fight, but she does not know it.

Now, as the harrowing tale unfolds, everyone is in a race for their lives, homes, and families. Twelve days are all they have to find the sword and break a sorceress''s curse before the Solsctic moon awakens.
