Returning to the noble household where he once served as page, Cazaril is named as secretary-tutor to the sister of the heir. It's an assignment Cazaril dreads, for it will lead him to the place he most fears: the royal court of Cadegoss. But a curse hangs over the entire blighted House of Chalion, and only with the most forbidden magic can Cazaril hope to protect his royal charge.
