Long before Jaenelle Angelline was born, there was a great Queen in the Realm of Terreille. She was the last to stand against Hayll's influence, along with her Consort, the Red Jewelled Shalador Warlord, Jared. Upon her death, her daughter failed to keep the taint from spreading, and Dena Nehele fell…..
Hundreds of years later came Dreams made Flesh. And through the Realms, Witch's power wiped out all of the Corrupted Blood, Dorothea and Hekatah were destroyed and in Terreille there were very few Blood remaining, in comparison to what there once had been...
To the north, in the Tamanara Mountains, the territory once known as Dena Nehele has emerged from the purification with a percentage of its Blood intact. The taint of Hayll is gone, and they can begin to rebuild. Hidden away, high in the mountains, a group of rogue Blood hear of the liberation of Dena Nehele, and they know it is time to return.
For with them they have a descendent of Queen Lia and Jared her Consort, A Birthright Jewelled Green Queen who has come away from her Offering to the Darkness with the Gray. It is time for her to take her place in the greatest Queen’s Gamble of all. The creation of the Gray Court is no small matter for a young Queen. She must unite the rogue Blood, unite Eyrien, Hayllian, Shaladorian and Nehelian alike in her Court, and return the Old Ways to Dena Nehele. The stakes are high, and unless you gamble everything… you cannot win.
