Avera was many things, one the best fighters in the Deidra District, an orphan to a fruitless war, and a proficient greatsword wielder. But for all the things she was there was plenty of things she wasn't. One thing she wasn't was prepared. Prepared for how her life would change the from the moment she watched the woman she deemed responsible for the murder of her parents burn to crisp upon a blackened altar. For the past ten thousand years there has been unrest between the four Fae Kingdoms. Recently word has sounded that a rebellion against the Wind Kingdom's leader, Casimir, has formed. Casimir, not heeding the warnings of his counsel ignored it. His ignorance proved to be a fatal mistake not for him, however, but for his mate. No matter how cruel the fate his innocent mate endured was, the fate Casimir would inflict on the people responsible was much, much worse.
