Some people are destined to die, no matter how much we wish it weren’t so. – Ellanora Halhed, First Daughter of the Ninth Line. Avalon Halhed was the sacrificial lamb for the Ninth Line, and she had one goal; keep her head down, avoid making waves and leave Boellium War College alive. Too bad her goals went out the window as soon as she stepped through the gates of the college. Within the first five minutes she'd irritated a freaking Heir to the First Line, and within twenty she'd caught the attention of an Heir to the Third Line. Someone once told her that there was no such thing as a good deed that goes unpunished, and apparently her punishment was to be trapped under the collective gaze of two of the most powerful people in all of Ebrus. Screw it. If she was going to be in the spotlight, then she was going to bask in the warmth while she could, especially if that warmth came in the form of two men who seemed intent on making her body combust. This is Part Three in an ongoing novella series. Reading Daughter Of The Ninth Line : Part One and Two is strongly advised.
