A KINGDOM IN RUIN

No one can be sure how the fire started, but it ravaged the capital city of Morenia, leaving its resources in ruin and its people plagued, In the pursuit of aid and political strength, King Hal must seriously consider marrying the wealthy princess of Liantine, and to ensure a good deal is made, he must once again ask Rani Trader for help.

But as they both soon discover, things are done rather differently in the land of Liantine. Negotiations with the king are not so easily won, nor is the trust of his daughter. And as Rani falls under the sway of their Players--entertainers who know glassmaking secrets Rani craves--the Fellowship is stirring up an undercurrent of secrecy and lies that could destroy this last tenuous chance for Hal to save his people.
