Life just isn't fair! And nobody knows that better than Brieana of Belfore. While on a romantic moonlight walk with her boyfriend, Arthur, she defends her virtue from a disreputable knight and winds up running for her life! Desperate to find a weapon to defend herself, and her not-so-great-knight, she stumbles upon a sword abandoned in the dirt. How is she supposed to know the sword is the famed Excalibur or that, because she is able to free it from its earthen sheath, she will be the next King...Queen of the Britons? But forces conspire against her! No man in her day and age will accept a female ruler.

Merlin, the great manipulator, knows this! That's why he sets up Brieana to retrieve the sword and then arranges for the power to pass on to Arthur. Homeless and loveless, especially after Arthur finds out that the brave Dark Knight that has been saving his rear end in battle is none other than Brieana, Merlin realizes he has wronged the true ruler of the Britons.

To help her reclaim her destiny, Merlin places Brieana under a spell that will allow her to one day be awakened by her perfect mate and to create a kingdom far more grand than her Camelot! With a kiss, Brieana is cast into stone, to await her true partner, equal to her in strength and courage.

Chasing dracks is hard work. Born with the knowledge to speak and understand the silent language of the drack, Kerian, ruler of the largest clan on the Light Isles, Mirage, is used to being an outcast within his own castle. So a naked woman falling at his feet during a hunt is something that he is not at all used to!

Once he takes Brieana to the safety of Mirage, they learn she has been asleep for thousands of years! The world she knew is gone and the world where she now lives is fraught with hidden dangers and perils, including Kerian's stepmother Shala, her enigmatic lover Dagon, and the new threat from the unknown people of the Dark Isles.

Brieana soon discovers that, in order to fulfill her destiny, she must do more than fall in love with the most perfect man she has ever seen! She must go on a quest to reclaim Excaliber and with Kerian's help, end the menace of the Dark Isles and unite the clans into one kingdom.

Even that's not easy when dealing with ice breathing Drackoons, killer bunny rabbits, talking chickens and menacing unicorns! Can the true ruler overcome obstacles both magical and maniacal? Will the evil schemes of the power hungry corrupt her chance for bringing a lasting peace to the lands? Will she be able to fulfill her shining destiny with Kerian and fulfill the promise given with a kiss?
