Summary

The health of the lands of Durrich is tied to their ruler, The Empress. But as the ages pass, the lands have been dying, noble ladies miscarrying. It is time for a successor to the throne. Empress Delphine de Tiernan can reign no more.

In a small village, a low-born peasant girl, Violet de Vie Donne, makes flowers grow with a word, trees blossom with a touch. The ladies of her village are blessed with children in abundance. Does she have the gift of `elan? Could she be the true successor to the throne?

Prince Jovan de Tiernan believes her to be the next Empress, and hopefully his bride. The Empress will do anything in her power to make sure that does not happen, even using her son and his love as a pawn in her deadly game.
