Publication Date: October 3, 2014
Publisher:
48fourteen
Dainy doesn’t know that she is the lost Duchess of Jordinia,
believed to have been assassinated fifteen years ago. Nor does she know that
her uncle has implemented an illegal contest to seek her, offering her marriage
hand as the reward! Though at odds, three clashing rivals – including a noble
giant, a forest dweller and a thieving rake – voyage together by woodland,
prairie and sea to recover the lost royal, notwithstanding the assassins and
spies at their tail. Soon, young Dainy is swept into a comically complex
romantic quadrangle as each suitor competes to capture her heart. Charmingly
romantic and bursting with political intrigue, startling twists and vivid
characters, readers of romance and fantasy alike will adore this original yet
timeless tale of swashbuckling adventure and unlikely love.

I’ve never seen a fire spread so easily or so
rapidly,” declared Cosmith. “And especially not on such damp soil.” He clenched
his jaw. “I smell a rat. This was no accident, my friends. It is chemical
warfare. The New Republic is trying to eliminate us who seek the Duchess.”
“They damn near succeeded,” muttered Bos.
“But why would they leave behind their symbol to convict themselves?”
challenged young Macmillan.
“Would they not wish to keep an assassination
classified?”
“Not if they wish to warn the survivors—us—who we’re dealing with,” said
Cosmith shrewdly. “This here?” He tapped knowingly against the symbol carved
into the stone. “This is called ‘leaving your mark.’ It’s a Jordinian custom
for claiming a crime committed.”
Macmillan raised an eyebrow. “And you would know this how?”
“This does not come as news to me,” interrupted Bos flatly. “The Republic will
slaughter whomever they please, however they shall, to ensure their authority
and control. It has been this way since they murdered my Emperor.”
“And it appears they’ve set an assassin on our tail,” said Cosmith grimly.
“So what do we do?” Macmillan looked between them.
Bos watched them, the last men standing in their now pitiful search party. “We
continue,” he suggested.
