The
crown princess Samantha fears she’s mad; no one but she sees colors glowing
around people. The peasant Robrek Angusstamm believes he’s a demon;
animals speak to him, and his healing powers far outstrip those of his
village’s priests. Despite their fears, their combined powers make them the
goddess’s choice to rule the kingdom of Korthlundia. Samantha’s ability enables
her to discern a person’s character through their multi-colored aura, and
Robrek’s makes him the strongest healer the kingdom has seen in centuries. But
their gifts also endanger their lives. Royals scheme to usurp the throne by
marrying or killing Samantha, and priests plot to burn Robrek at the stake.
Robrek escapes the priests only to be captured by Samantha’s arch-enemy, Duke
Argblutal; Argblutal intends to force the princess to marry him by exploiting
Robrek’s powers. To save their own lives and stop the realm from sinking into
civil war, Robrek and Samantha must consolidate their powers and unite the
people behind them.
