In The Blight of Muirwood, the second book in the Muirwood Trilogy,
Lia finds herself filled with inner turmoil after the great battle of
Winterrowd that led to the death of the wicked king and her closest
ally. Despite her reservations, Lia is called to be an official
protector of Muirwood Abbey and is charged to employ her magic to defend
Ellowyn Demont, the lost heir of the fallen kingdom of Pry-Ree. Her
duties are put to the test when the Queen Dowager arrives in Muirwood
accusing the Aldermaston, the abbey's overseer, for the king's death.
Amidst the turmoil, battle ensues, and Lia learns of a terrible plague
that threatens to cover the land in darkness and death. Atop it all, the
magic of the world begins to fail. In a quest to undo the devastation,
Lia's path brings her to a startling revelation that will change her
life forever.
