A destructive Civil War brought them together After years of strife, the Sovereign Road has become a dangerous neglected track. Highwayman Garry Aloly finds the landscape barren, no one to rob for valuables or even more important food. Stuck on the edge of survival with his arcane steed, Dobbin, he eventually finds himself in possession of information that might spell ruin or salvation for a prince. Not that he ever wanted to be involved, even if it does give him the company of a lovely lady. Lady Molivia Cantro owes her loyalty to the king. Exiled from her family, she works to not only protect the nobles under her care, but also works behind the scenes to protect the royal family. A complication of having to deal with an impulsive thief adds to the weight on her shoulders. Stuck together in a disintegrating mansion, surrounded by the spoiled refuse of nobility, and trying to survive in a world torn by war both might find a modicum of happiness. Or maybe even love. This is the 1st full novel of the Peril Kingdoms Anthology that will explore a variety of different locations and time periods in this low magic world. By a historian who believes that the best fantasy stories are inspired by the past.
