THE KING'S CHALLENGE--It was a proving ground for warriors in the
Essalieyan Empire, the hallowed contest
that made legends of men. And for Valedan, last
survivor of the ruling family of his
Dominion, it was a declaration of his right
to claim the throne stolen from the
Leonne clan by treachery and assasination.
Failure to earn the title of King's Champion
would not deprive Valedan of either his Dominion or Essalieyan allies, but winning
would announce to the world that he was no
callow boy, no mere pawn in the games of
power. And teh games of power were indeed being played--not only
in Empire and Dominion but in the far more dangerous realm of the Lord of Night.
