THE ROSE OF SUID A late-night escape to see her brother finds Lamya indebted to a stranger who dresses like a vagabond but carries the sword of a prince. The tragic love story that made a Queen! Lady Lamya’s beauty is a curse, even worse when her father sees it as only the means for an advantageous marriage. All she wants is to see her young brother Thebo whom her father hasn’t allowed home in ten years. But when a letter arrives from Thebo urging her to meet him in secret the last thing she expects is to be attacked. Even less to land in the debt of a stranger who dresses like a vagabond but carries a royal sword. THE LAST BALIK As heir to the high seat of Istok, Hira is doomed to lead the country when her uncle dies. She has no time for ladylike behavior, she escapes the boring political lessons to practice swordplay in secret. Her world comes to a halt when her uncle promises her hand to an old man. Will she escape her duty to her people and find her freedom or will she let her dreams die and accept her birthright?
