Magic. Destiney. A forbidden love worth bleeding for.
Master Sword Bryan is an elite warrior on the prince of Shelkite's council. When the realm is threatened by Ret, a powerful wizard-king, Bryan is ready to fight. But his plans are upended when he's assigned not to the battlefield, but as the personal guardian of a young half-blood witch sent to aid Shelkite-Alexandra.Bryan opposes Alexandra from the start. She's proud, stubborn, reckless-and, in his mind, wholly unsuited for such a dangerous role.
Alexandra, however, is determined to prove herself to the skeptical Master Sword. Though her powers have yet to fully manifest, she's confident in her calling. With her loyal mount, Zhan, and her favored weapon at her side, she believes she's ready to face her powerful uncle, Ret.
Or is she? The journey ahead holds more than Alexandra ever expected-including a bitter yet alluring warrior, and a destiny far more perilous than either of them imagined.
