"Soon rocks sprang up from the ground and heaved themselves around her, upward, ever upward. That night a castle grew, its lowest depths the tomb of the bloody king and the daughter he sacrificed to give his people haven. And everywhere his blood was spilt, horrid, wretched trees sprang up. From his spoiled life, his people were hedged in, safe from all that might seek them from without.

But in the tomb, the little girl waits ... and soon she will be waking."

Deirdre is surviving. She survived her parents death and the ascension of her horrible Uncle to the family throne. She survived the death of her love, Dalton. But can she survive what is coming for her now?

A thousand year old pact is starting to unravel with a force beyond anything even her powerful magic abilities can handle. Her insular life, the princess in the tower, is fast coming to an end. She will have to fight to live another day, but first she'll have to face down family secrets, and the past she's tried so hard to survive already.

This paranormal thriller is based in the Xanatos Realm of books, but introduces a completely new character, the strong but insulated Princess Deirdre. Even if you've never read the other books, this is a fun and fast thrill ride through powerful evil forces and supernatural devices.
