description:  A Christian Fantasy Fairytale Retelling A new unexperienced Regent to rule the divided Province of Rodonal. A power-hungry Wizarding clan intent on stealing it away piece by piece. A young maiden healer unwittingly traded for an astounding amount of gold. Kardia has been warned time and again to keep her Sano healing talents a secret from everyone in their dying town of Goia. But one day her father crosses paths with a strange man who can make gold appear at will. He's looking to purchase the plot of land behind their house and everything that's upon it. Unfortunately Kardia has been tricked into standing upon that parcel of land binding her to the contract her father makes with the Sorcerer. Leonard has been appointed Regent of the Province of Rodonal after his father's untimely death. His father's neglect and indifference left the towns of the Province to fend for themselves. In desperation some of them accepted help from Outsiders making deals they had no right to make. Now the Brethren of Sorcerers are intent on protecting their investments with the ultimate goal of taking over all of Rodonal as they grow in power and greed. As Leonard visits each town trying to set wrongs right he must choose to fight for the turned villages or lose more of the King's land entrusted to his care. In the meantime Kardia searches desperately for a way to break the contract binding her without having to spill the blood of her loved ones being spilled. Her last hope remains in the Regent's visit but will he actually care about their plight or brush off the tiny hamlet as his father the previous Regent has done?
