Publisher's summary

A wise king keeps his friends close and his enemies closer, even if one is his younger brother.

When a valuable heiress disappears from Kingfountain in the middle of the night, King Eredur summons the poisoner Ankarette to bring her back alive at all costs. Both of his younger brothers want her—one to control her fortune and the other for love.

With the help of a world-weary soldier from the Night Watch, Ankarette must delve into the darkest corners of the city before the wrong people find the lost widow first. Blood will be spilled. Brothers will come to blows. And once again, Ankarette must try to stop her beloved kingdom from tearing itself apart.

Engaging without edginess

I love Jeff’s work. I can get transported to a fantasy world for a while and enjoy the story without feeling attacked by explicit content.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I absolutely LOVE this series as well as the King Fountain series, as well as his other books/series, The King Fountain, The first Argentines, Dawning of Muirwood, and Legends of Muirwood! I love the whole storyline especially since each series can be randomly or you can read them in kinda of a sequence cause their all connected from the past and other world where the Mastons go to another to survive to the new world where the murrid ones don't rule!! Absolutely captivating!!!

Jeff Wheeler makes another win

Love his books- hard not to give spoilers. Great characters as always. Great plot development. Nice weaving of the story together. Love the narrator too. Keep’m coming.

Another fantastic link in the Kingfountain chain

After greatly enjoying the original Kingfountain stories of Owen Kiskadon, the backstory of Ankarette has been a wonderful addition to the tale!

The Widow’s Fate

It was good to hear a great love story with a happy ending and not just mayhem and machinations!
Well written flowed easily and of course Kate Rudd is the Ultimate narrator for this series.
It seemed rather short and flat compared to previous books by this author

Fantastic Story

I love Jeff Wheeler’s stories and I specifically love the Kings poisoner, Ankarette Tryneowy. She was part of other series that Jeff Wheeler has also I was thrilled to see that this one is just about her life. she’s dedicated her whole life to this serving the king. The service is costing her life. In the previous book, she was robbed of her love, who chose another woman for status. I was so happy to see that she was starting to give Love a chance in this book. Don’t miss it.
