    About this series

    Sir Ahmad leaves High Castle to escape his feelings for Lady Idra, but he is called home by duty when the baby of the high prince is born. During his absence, Idra holds out hope that Ahmad has not forgotten her, but she refuses to let fear or timidity rule her life anymore and takes matters into her own hands.

    While Ahmad’s been gone she’s been training to fight and defend herself, never wanting to fall prey to the evil schemes of men ever again. But Idra’s willingness to help others attracts danger at every turn, including when a new knight to the castle asks for her assistance with Sir Florian, a fellow guardsman.

    In pursuit of their friend, they uncover roots of impending treason that threaten to undo the kingdom. They unwittingly incite the wrath of an ancient rebellion steeped in magic, putting not only themselves in peril but also Florian and those he cares most for in the world.

    Can they stop the traitors in time, or has their interference only doomed those they've sworn to protect? Is Idra strong enough to face a fate worse than death?

    When Florian is handed an impossible choice between loyalty to his king and the life of his sister, the choice seems simple. But for an honorable man, is it?

    This is the third installment in the Chronicles of the Twelve Realms series, a saga of magical realism set in a fantastical world.

      Magic is long dead in Twelve Realms, a peaceful kingdom where the dark arts were once as normal as the seasons. At least this is what most believed until the life of a princess becomes the obsession of a man who defies time by stealing the one thing that sustains his life: true beauty. Princess Caityn is more than a pretty face. Her beauty runs soul deep, and because of this, her life is priceless to the thief. On the eve of her wedding to the high prince, Caityn is attacked by his powerful dark magic, leaving her a wretched hag with a soul so empty even she barely recognizes herself. But it’s not too late. Her betrothed and a group of loyal knights might be able to save her from a living death, but it will take more than a kiss to rescue this princess. Love means sacrifice. What will those who profess to love Caityn be willing to sacrifice to save her life? Time is not on their side. Doubt is a strong enemy, and the thief knows exactly how to use it to his advantage.

      ~They say love conquers all, but Idra knows hope is what sets the captive free~ The Twelve Realms seems an idyllic nation, but behind locked doors there are sinister powers at work. Not even the royal family of High Castle is outside their reach, and Lady Idra has unwittingly placed herself in the crosshairs of a shrewd mercenary. Idra is noble by birth and lady-in-waiting to the future High Queen of the Twelve Realms. Yet she’s unaware of her true value and strength. From her youth she has been pledged in service to the crown, and though accepting of her duty, she inwardly longs for more. But in her wildest dreams Idra never imagined the terrible future devised for her by forces unknown. Sir Ahmad, a knight of the realms, admires Lady Idra from afar. But when he finally has the courage to tell her, it may be too late. He could lose Idra forever because of one man’s devious ploy to gain revenge and riches by her ruin. If an ocean stands between them, will all hope be lost?
