Valka, a princess of Solvorn, once gave up her crown to marry a mortal, Corwin. Forty years later she had given him her youth and received only his betrayal, the scorn of her son, and a world overrun by demons. At the moment she dies, fate returns her to the crossroads where she made that choice. This time she severs her bonds with her husband and son, takes back her royal rank, and leads a legion of holy unicorns into battle against the Abyss.
She purges the corrupt clergy in a bloody reckoning, slays the four mighty overlords of the Abyss herself, and at last burns her royal blood to die beside the demon lord. Her powers gone, she spends her final years in a quiet valley with a golden dragon and the girl she adopted, a legend that will not fade.
