She made her decision. Now she has to live with it.
Durkhanai Miangul sealed her lover's fate when she sent him through a
door where either a lady or a lion awaited him. But her decision was
only the beginning of her troubles. Durkhanai worries that she might not
be the queen her people need or deserve when conflict threatens her
kingdom.
Her presumed-dead father comes back with a vengeance and wishes she join
him in his cause. But her family's denial of his revenge forces
Durkhanai to take matters into her own hands and she must decide whether
to follow the traditions of her forefathers or forge a new path on her
own.
