The lands of Soloria are rich and fertile, the envy of all who seek comfort in a harsh world. Tendra Val'ore is captain of Soloria's Royal Guard, a mainstay during Soloria's trying times to keep the peace. Dedicated to preserving her people's way of life, she is sickened by her vain, self-absorbed cousin, the queen. As if her selfishness weren't bad enough, the queen has invited into the keep Soloria's most dangerous enemy, the dreaded Darkson Axe, General Roane Faxon. Roane wants Soloria, and if the price he pays must be marriage to a stunning but spoiled queen, so be it. But when he sets eyes on the queen's captain, lust and a curious liking hit him hard. The warrior-woman Tendra is not only beautiful, but strong of mind and spirit. When the queen's motives prove malicious, only Tendra has the power to stay Roane's hand of vengeance. But will her forfeit be enough to win his affections, or will war tear Tendra's land and heart asunder? Genres: Fantasy / Voyeurism / Magic
