The Queen's Knight — Deborah Chester

As Pheresa, rightful Queen of Mandria, stands ready to claim her crown and her destiny, a deadly mist fills the cathedral. And when it clears, Pheresa has vanished.

Only Sir Talmor, her sworn protector, can find and save her--but in doing so he reveals his magical powers. Now Pheresa, against her heart's wishes, must send him from her court. For magic and magic users are viewed with deep suspicion in Mandria, and it would not do for her to be connected to one such as Talmor.

But her enemies are many. Some she knows; some she does not suspect. And the time will soon come when she will need Talmor by her side more than ever.

And he will come to her, though his love and loyalty may cost him not his life--but his very soul...
