The King's Mercenary

By Elisabeth A Stringfield

In the kingdom of Eldorious, where alliances are forged in blood and broken by betrayal, King Roderick stands at the edge of a war with Haloas after the treaty is broken during the battle with The New Moon Group. A seasoned ruler with a haunted past, Roderick has spent his life defending his realm, yet peace has always eluded him. When his sister, now Queen of Noxtura, through a political marriage to King Niall, names a new captain of her royal guard, Roderick is unprepared for the storm that walks in with a blade at her hip and secrets behind her eyes. Selene, known across the realm as The Dove, is a legend cloaked in mystery. A former mercenary, spy, and survivor of battles both on the field and within courtly shadows, Selene has sworn loyalty to the Queen, but not to the crown. Her past is woven with danger, and her allegiance, though genuine, remains watched and questioned by those who fear her influence. Especially by King Roderick. When whispers of rebellion stir in the east of his kingdom and the fragile unity between Haloas and Eldorious begins to crack, Selene and Roderick are forced into a dangerous partnership. As they investigate a hidden threat that could shatter the realm from within, they must navigate a maze of old grudges, forbidden truths, and growing tension between them that is anything but professional. But war isn't the only enemy, and sometimes the most dangerous battles are the ones waged in the heart. The King's Mercernary is a sweeping fantasy of loyalty, power, and the slow-burn romance between two guarded souls who must decide whether trust is worth the risk, or if duty will demand they destroy each other.
