Terriwyn is pregnant by the Bard. Unfortunately he is now dead and she has been captured by Al, the Grand Wizard. He plans to marry her, poison the brat out of her and insert his own in there, thus solidifying his power. Terriwyn, however, is not having any of it. With the help of Amphilio the Naiad, as well as the bumbling Quiox and Dorox, Terri plans on outsmarting Al at his own game. It's just too bad that nothing ever seems to work out the way she plans it and when the Demon Vir'gol, King of the Underworld, suddenly shows up, everything is thrown into disarray. Book five of The Second Aurora Chronicles continues the saga of Terriwyn, daughter of the Goddess Aurora the Deity Slayer, whose misadventures will eventually cause her to end up on a completely different continent than her brother Dor.
