Amphipolisly Frivolous [Academy Must-Xe TV Challenge 2003] ** winner **
Rowena, Earl of Northwold, was not having a good day. The Queen's impossible demands were bringing civil war ever closer. It was Rowena's intention to keep Northwold out of it for as long as possible, however events were working against her. The last thing she needed was for the Queen's marshal to appear, bringing a prisoner who would stir up old memories and bring new problems.
The quest for the stolen chalice is just a sham - an excuse to get rid of Tevi, and save her clan further embarrassment. She finds the outside world a dangerous and confusing place, especially once her arrival triggers a chain of events she has no control over. Monsters, sorcerers, murder and a long hidden secret all await her. If this isn't enough, Tevi will have to overcome her own inner demons and figure out exactly what she wants from life.
