Description: Wynter Moorehawke grew up within the royal court. Skilled at diplomacy, Wynter nonetheless finds herself totally shaken by the realm that she and her father return to after five years away. Days of laughter, friendly ghosts and chatty cats remain only in her memory's eye. The present confronts her with power play, intrigue, dark torture chambers, wailing spirits and cats too scared to talk to humans. The Inquisition has become a real and present danger. Together with her friends Lord Razi and Christopher Garron, Wynter must try and restore the Kingdom to its former stability and peace. But this new Kingdom is a dangerous place, where all resistance is brutally suppressed, and the trio run the constant risk of imprisonment, torture and death.
