A Debt To Pay
For sixteen-year-old Kristalena, being heir to her mother’s throne is problem enough. But when a demon stalks the palace she learns that the price of persuading an ancient warlock to send it back to Hell is higher than she could possibly imagine.
Nothing for nothing was the way of her people. When Kristalena turns sixteen she becomes heir to the Whitehead Throne. Finding her sister’s killer, dealing with scheming palace functionaries and ambitious imperial ambassadors and being the Queen’s least favourite child are problems enough. But when a demon stalks the palace Kristalena learns that the world is a darker and more desperate place than she ever imagined and the price of persuading an ancient warlock to send it back to Hell is higher than she could possibly imagine.
