He comes crashing into her life and deceives her in everything he does.
The pampered princess of the land has not had enough experience to know how to handle a foreigner who has already snaked across their border. One who is an anathema to every rule she’s been taught and sets her on a course no one foresees. Traditions, restrictions, and oh yeah, a mother stronger than gale-force winds have held her back all her life, making her greener and pricklier than thistledown.Ī scheme to open the borders of their isolated land is the catalyst to her meeting an exile. Or else she will become a victim to her mother's machinations. For the first time, she strikes out on a journey for self-fulfillment alone. In defiance of her mother, Tierahna (Tierney, if you want to stay in her good graces) runs away from the Keep.
