Soren Armitage is an anachronism.  Proclaimed 

Rathen Champion by the Rathen Rose, intended 

to support the rule of a Rathen King or Queen.

But there are no Rathens.

Resigned to symbolising only Darest's faded 

glories, Soren is not prepared for the sudden 

appearance of a Rathen.  Now she must find 

and support the heir despite the machinations 

of the kingdom's regent, sylvan curses, and the 

strange behaviour of once-dormant 

protective enchantments.  While the odds 

seem stacked against her, Soren is determined 

to do her best to live up to the name of Rathen 

Champion.  But what is she to do when it seems 

that there is something very wrong with 

her Rathen?  Can she trust the person she 

is meant to protect?
