    "description": "SING THE FOUR QUARTERS: Only those born with the gift could learn to Sing the spirits of earth, air, fire, and water to do their bidding, and even someone as gifted as Princess Annice must spend years training at the Bardic Hall. Annice was one of those rare talents able to Sing the elemental spirits from each of the Four Quarters, and the call of magic was so strong that she renounced her royal blood and privileges to become a Bard. But ten years after she'd transferred her life and loyalties from the royal palace to the Bardic Hall, Annice found herself fleeing from the King's Guards, twice guilty of treason, first for imperiling the order of succession by becoming pregnant, and second for aiding the father of her unborn child, the Duc of Ohrid, to escape the palace dungeons and the sentence of death hanging over his head. Now the fugitives' only hope lay in tracking down and brining to justice the enemy who'd masterminded the Duc's downfall. \n\nSet on the same worlds as SING THE FOUR QUARTERS, FIFHT QUARTER introduces us to the Havalkeen Empire, and to Bannon and  his sister Vree. The pair are assassins of the highest caliber in the Havalkeen army, completing every mission flawlessly. But on their latest assignment something goes horribly wrong and brother and sister are trapped together in Vree's body when Gyhard, the man they've been sent to assassinate, steals Brannon's body for himself. As they set off in pursuit, the siblings find themselves caught between their loyalty to the Empire they've served all their lives, their own private struggle to coexist within Vree's body, and the demands of Gyhard- who will return Bannon's body to him if they help him if they help him take over the body of the heir to the Imperial throne...",
