In the kingdom of Crotheny, two young girls play in the tangled gardens of the sacred city of the dead where, fleeing an imaginary attacker, they discover the unknown crypt of a legendary, ancestral queen. In the wilds of the forest, while investigating the mass slaughter of an innocent family, the king's forester comes face-to-face with a monstrous beast found only in folk tales and nightmares. Meanwhile, travelling the same road, a scholarly young priest begins his education in the nature of the evil that festers just beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful realm. For the royal family is facing a betrayal that only sorcery can accomplish. And now, for three beautiful sisters, for a young man elevated to knighthood, and for for countless others, a darkness is emerging to shatter all that once seemed certain, familiar, and good. Numerous separate destinies will become entangled as malevolent forces stalk the land -- and the Briar King, that primeval harbinger of death, has awakened from his slumber.

In doing so she freed the race of humans - once taken from their distant homes and forced to wear the bitter yoke of slavery. Thus begins an epic tale of war and virtue, sorcery and betrayal: In the kingdom of Crotheny, two young girls are playing in the tangled gardens of the sacred city of the dead when they stumble upon the unknown crypt of a legendary ancestral queen. In the wilds of the forest, while investigating the hideous slaughter of an innocent family, the king's holter, Aspar White, weaves his way through a maze of ancient willows - and comes face-to-face with a monstrous beast straight out of folktale and nightmare. Meanwhile, travelling that same road, a scholarly young priest begins his education in the nature of an evil found festering just beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful land. The royal family itself is in direst peril, facing a betrayal that only sorcery could accomplish. And now - for three beautiful sisters, for a young man recently elevated to knighthood, for a reckless woman in love with a roguish adventurer - a dark malevolence is emerging to shatter all that once seemed certain, familiar and good.
