Excerpt:
“My daughter is returning home. She is in Corinthia with the young Tyson. The next move needs to be played if we are to rid our world of this damned curse,” he said with such a giant smile on his face that the boy couldn’t tell if the king was happy or angered. “I’m sorry, Nile. Please send word to Largania and Regalis requesting the lord’s presence at the palace. They should arrive when Renella does. Return a message to Cantothos as well. Tell him to put his people up in his own room if need be, but he’d better make it here with her.” He turned to look out over the land below. “Wait…” He turned back to the boy. “Send a message to Calipee as well. The fairy queen might be interested to know her brother is back.” Rowan marveled in the new-found information. Renella was safe and only a day’s travel away. With any luck, he thought, she’d have left shortly after the message did. “She could be here as early as tonight,” he spoke to himself. “Clara!” he bellowed again as he left the room in search of his housekeeper. A round woman, with a white bonnet on her head, rounded a corner and bounced her way to the king. “Yes, my lord?’” She curtsied and stood to await orders. “Have the princess’s room freshened up, as well as the guest rooms,” the king said in a mellowed voice. The short, plump woman looked at him, dumbfounded. “Now!” He bent over her. “The princess will be arriving shortly.” The woman finally registered what was being said to her and a wide, toothless grin spread across her face. She danced into another bow, turned on her heel, and walked the length of the hall before stepping into a run and screaming, “The princess is coming! The princess will be home soon!” Rowan’s mouth curled up at a corner, and he held his midsection as he chuckled to himself. That old woman would have the entire kingdom up in arms with the news. All knew what Renella’s return to Pylira meant for the land, and they were more than ready.
