The amulet brings more trouble than it's worth, though, including the undying enmity of the Bayar family and even a dangerous connection with the Demon King of legend. Meanwhile, Raisa is faced with political tension and potential threats to her ascension to the throne of the Fells, on top of her approaching name day and a looming marriage contract.</p><p>Book two, <em>The Exiled Queen,</em> follows Han and Raisa as they attempt to escape the political turmoil in their home by attending the world-famous schools at <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AcademyOfAdventure' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AcademyOfAdventure' data-format='W1tBY2FkZW15T2ZBZHZlbnR1cmUgT2RlbiYjMDM5O3MgRm9yZC5dXQ=='>Oden's Ford.</a> Han meets a powerful and mysterious ally named Crow, who comes offering to teach him—and aid with his vendetta against the Bayars.

All the while, she's pursued by assassins that wish to prevent this. Han risks his life to help her, but when he has recovered, he finds out to his dismay that the girl he knew and loved as "Rebecca" is actually the princess heir of his country. The two of them are forced into a world of politics and treachery—but this time, with the highest stakes yet.</p><p>Book four, <em>The Crimson Crown,</em> was released in October 2012. The plot focuses mainly on the large tension caused by Han's sheer presence, as well as the fact that he's found a powerful object that could possibly unite the Fells once and for all.
