Joan is back in Valeria! With the war with Lendia over, the country has turned to other problems; political problems. Luckily for Joan, she doesn't have to be embroiled in the details. She just has to dress up and enchant the royal families, which is not one of her more notable skills. Nor is coping with the betrayal from Martin, and the witchy woman who's determined to drive a wedge so deep between them that they'll never be able to move past it.
As Joan travels through the medieval side of America, she discovers that trouble is brewing beneath the pretty picture the other countries want to present. They're trying to promote peace, but someone else is creating dissent, calling for attacks and chaos on those in power. When disaster strikes, and Joan is caught up in the devastation, she'll find help in the most unlikely of places. She's the only one who can save the day, but she's outnumbered, and she may run out of time and lose everything she has left.
