Synopsis: Bewitched and besieged - Having bested conspirators and craven usurpers, the shapeshifting Queen Alexia and King Tiran, her warrior champion, at long last take their rightful place as rulers of the land. But chaos and corruption is running rampant throughout their mystical realm - and vile treachery crouches in every shadowed corner of the royal palace. A mesmerizing voice whispers to the beautiful Alexia, softly beckoning the unsuspecting queen toward an inevitable doom.
