    "description": "<p>Two thousand years ago, the Born Queen defeated the Skasloi lords, freeing humans from the bitter yoke of slavery. But now monstrous creatures roam the land&mdash;and destinies become inextricably entangled in a drama of power and seduction. The king&rsquo;s woodsman, a rebellious girl, a young priest, a roguish adventurer, and a young man made suddenly into a knight&mdash;all face malevolent forces that shake the foundations of the kingdom, even as the Briar King, legendary harbinger of death, awakens from his slumber. At the heart of this many-layered tale is Anne Dare, youngest daughter of the royal family ... upon whom the fate of her world may depend.</p>",
