Rose and Thorn: 2 (Black Rose Sorceress)

Crown Prince Thorn: I felt defeated. Helpless. If Sherra were alive why didnt she mindspeak to tell me so? Every day I floundered against that notion-that if she were alive shed have contacted me by now. Dont give up Thorn Hunter said softly. We dont know everything there is to know. Hunter every day reminds me of how little we actually do know. * * * Sherra has not returned to the King. Seven months have passed and Kaakos Ny-nes leader is rebuilding his army. His plan is to unleash an onslaught against Az-ca-in retaliation for the destruction of his troops and weapons. In Az-ca the Kings health is failing the enemy is on the march and Merrin and his rogues have forged an alliance with enemy infiltrators. Will the Crown Prince be forced to deal with attacks from both sides without Sherras help? Will Az-ca survive if Sherra is dead as so many believe?
