It also features images of part of the original, handwritten manuscript and copies of some original notes and calculations created while the work was in progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough Imhrien's memory is clouded by sorcery, she must take vital news to the King-Emperor of Caermelor. She hopes that there she may also find Thorn, the King's Ranger, a beautiful warrior who has won her heart. Since no commoner may approach the royal court, Imrhien assumes a new identity as Rohain, a noble visitor from the distant Sorrow Isles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe soon discovers that the King and his rangers have departed to battle the unseelie hordes which have declared war against mortalkind. Attacks by nightmare monsters of the Wild Hunt, led by the wicked Lord Huon, grow ever more frequent and brutal. And when evil forces lay siege to the royal sanctuary on a hidden mystic island, Rohain is confronted with a horrifying discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo protect those she loves, the Lady of the Sorrows must undertake a desperate quest to discover who she is and why an unhuman evil would wreak such destruction. But the truth of Rohain's past will prove more incredible—and far more tragic—than any she could possibly have imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Cecilia Dart-Thornton was discovered on the Internet.
