Description:

At the end of The Island Chronicies 2: At the Inlet, Terry and Julian’s romance brought them together as man and wife. Now they must live through both the challenges of married life and of Terry’s new status in Serelia as the Church of Serelia’s first woman minister. The difficulties of adjusting to their new life are overshadowed by events to the west, where officials of Verecundan’s old regime attempt to put together their realm again in the midst of the Island’s poorer and more unstable regions. Everyone is forced out of their “comfort zone” by this turn of events: George and Darlene by the developing treason of Darlene’s own father, Julian by the demands of national security, and Terry by her mission to find allies, which lands her in the middle of their enemies’ territory and literally at the point of death.
