Being held prisoner is just the beginning of my descent into despair. It's the poison and the desperate escape that seal the deal.<br/>The stakes are higher than ever when I wake up tied to a strange table. Once I have my bearings, I realize that the Dark witch battling me from the very beginning may very well have finally won our war. My morale is low as I'm helpless to fight her, and soon I find myself on the brink.<br/>Anything could happen this time, and I'm fully prepared. My nursing skills are rusty, but when I need them most, I discover they aren't entirely lost. Surgically removing demonic stones isn't my idea of a good time, but I have to do whatever I can to ensure that evil does not win.<br/>To top it off I still have to rescue my mate, and I can't do that alone. Thank goodness I have the help of my best friend, my dragon, and a dwarf.
