She was born and bred to be a warrior princess. Is she willing to give that up to follow her heart?
A master of swordplay, military tactics, and stealth movement, Liris can do everything except listen to her heart.
Sent on a mission by the King of Anacafria, Liris stumbles on three bodies hanging in a peaceful glade. What began as a simple quest quickly turns complicated as the king's cousin joins her in the hunt for those responsible for the brutal murders.

Can a woman who guards the Duchess of Danforth somehow become her lover as well? It's what her heart desires, but not what fate has allowed...not yet anyway.
