The Shadow Shaia

Wizenbeal had done well for a minor wizard. He had won the war, and now his chosen Shaia ruled as Regent for the young prince Dervian. He should have been able to relax and gloat a bit. But unfortunately, the woman on the throne wasn't the real Shaia at all. The body of the true Shaia, the Witch-Queen, had died, after magicking her essence into her daughter, the child Princess Marjia. The woman who ruled was only a double chosen by Wizenbeak, possessing no magical abilities. There was no peace. The Witchfinders were still a power and were plotting widespread murders. The land was being invaded by a neighbor kingdom. And Princess Marjia was beginning to suffer the onset of puberty. This was no time for Wizenbeak to rest on his laurels!
