Shadow Devoted

What's the reward for a job well done? A harder job. Kirin sails monster-infested seas to a magical island from which he will fetch back his royal brother's bride, the beautiful and talented Princess Callia. But kingly marriages bring king-sized trouble, especially from those not invited. Hostile nations and deadly assassins stand in his way, and murderous magic isn't the worst danger he'll face. For in that far-off realm Kirin will meet an opponent that can't be fought with blade or strength, or even by his own deadly powers.
