One wrong move on her part and instead of a queen, she would be a slave...
General Sarkal. A man whose anger brings ruin and death.
Princess Asirri. A woman for whom pride is more important than life.
Sarkal is closing in on the city ruled by the cousin of the man whose kingdom he has sworn to raze to the ground. Behind him stretches a trail of ash. Before him is only revenge.
Asirri negotiates. A duel instead of a battle.
Sarkal agrees.
Among flowers and trees flows a river of blood.
