Book Synopsis: When Milo's confederation forces defeated the army of the tyrannical King Zastros, the High Lord offered a peace settlement his defeated foes could scarce believe, welcoming them as full members of the newly formed Confederation of Easter Peeoples.
Sending some of his most trusted agents before him, backed by those doughty warriors, the Horseclansmen, Milo hoped to see the decimated kingdom rapidly reorganized into a thriving realm. But neither he nor any of his alies had bargained for the evil hidden within the very heart of the land's new government -- an evil fueled by Milo's most ancient and hated enemied, an evil that might well destroy all of Southern Ehleenohee and become a dread weapon against the Confederation itself!
