Plot Summary of An Exaltation of Larks
"Princess Perion Marrett of Canticle has always found more pleasure in filling her mind than her dance card. Becoming Queen, however, means more than taking the throne. She must also take a husband. When a witch's miscast spell sends Sir Barrett Llewellyn away to the land of Grimearth, Perion journeys to find him. There she learns the truth of her heart. Will it be the noble knight, or the man she fears most, Dark Sorcerer Mason de Cimmerian?"
Megan Hart, Resident Scholar
