    About this series

    Princess Ursula of Valborough wants nothing more than to improve the lives of her sister's poorest subjects, but reading and writing aren't priorities for mothers whose husbands remain prisoners of war. When the king of Heyton offers marriage, Ursula sees an opportunity to use herself as leverage to bring her countrymen home, but it would mean giving up a future with the man she's always loved.

     

    Prince Gideon of Heyton would love to serve his kingdom, but he is relegated to diplomatic work while his warrior cousins advance in ranks of King Killian's court. He reluctantly accepts his uncle's mission to Valborough. He's a safe choice, after all. What princess would be tempted by a crippled stand-in when she would soon be in the bed of a king? After a rapid proxy wedding and awkward night in the bridal chamber, Gideon escorts Ursula home only to learn Killian has died. To free her people, Ursula must take the reigns of a country she's never seen from people who have a head start on remaking Heyton as they please. 

     

    When she uncovers something hidden for more than 25 years, Ursula suspects Gideon is not simply a crippled diplomat; Killian didn't die of natural causes, and he's not the only casualty of a long-game plot to seize the throne of Heyton.

      In a country where Elemental Sensitivities determine a person's place in society, Mariana, fourth child of King Jonathan and Queen Alexandria, was born an Insensitive. She is given the made up title of Progenna, because she can't be in line for the throne and therefore, can't be a Princess. All her life, she is reminded that she isn't quite good enough. When her father decides she is to marry Pir Leo Valentine, an eighty-four year old man with a scar across his face that took his eye and only one hand, she runs away from the palace. Orlando of Talla is a pig farmer and former soldier who served the King until he watched his Sovereign burn an entire harbor town rather than lose a battle. Now he tries to live a quiet life while leading a band a rebels who steal from the nobility to bring prisoners home from that war. Orlando is also the bastard son of a nobleman, and therefore, he has a Sensitivity, one of Blood that allows him to feel the Sensitivities of others. He finds the injured Progenna in the forest and immediately realizes that the stories about Mariana aren't true. Ra-ther than being an Insensitive, Mariana may be the most powerful Sensitive in Valborough.
