In Book I of the trilogy, Tamras, our hero, arrives in Merin’s house to begin her apprenticeship as a warrior, but her small stature causes many, including Tamras herself, to doubt that she will ever become a competent swordswoman. To make matters worse, the Lady Merin assigns her the position of companion, little more than a personal servant, to a woman who came to Merin’s house, seemingly out of nowhere, the previous winter, and this stranger wants nothing to do with Tamras. Tamras’s journey begins with the smallest of steps. She sets aside her disappointment and performs as well as she can the humble tasks given her, and eventually she succeeds in winning the trust and then the friendship of the cantankerous warrior to whom she has been assigned. In the first year of her journey, Tamras will make a series of choices that often seem insignificant, but they will flow from her character and from her good intentions, and they will determine her destiny.

After her attempt at living the life of a dope man's wifey seemed to be non existent, Noel Rue made plans of running away from the Dirty South with the love of her life, Kwasi, & never to return. That was, until those plans of being a modern day Bonnie & Clyde become unraveled right before her eyes, and she finds herself standing in the twilight zone while fighting for her freedom. As she put the thoughts of ever being happy again behind her, Noel is ecstatic when her Prince Charming suddenly appears and sweeps her off of her feet. However, Channing Manado is not who he portrays to be and his unsuspected encounter with Noel is anything but genuine. The sophisticated, charming and handsome lawyer has motives that only Noel can assist him with, knowingly or unknowingly. Soon enough, any thoughts that Noel had of one day becoming his wife and raising a family, quickly vanish as unsuspected events begin to unfold right before her eyes. Eventually, her 'Happily Ever After' seems to only be a figment of her imagination. After realizing the lines that she'd drawn in the sand had been crossed, Noel becomes consumed with rage. Revenge is the motive as she looks to get back everything that was taken from her. And more! There's no guessing how far she will go when her life has been filled with deceit and betrayal at the hands of men.
