Exiled from her homeland, Elena found purpose in her work as the Captain of the Guard to the Queen of Kalad--at least, until she was ordered to help a brooding Prince regain his home and release his hostage son. A clever and competent soldier and expert swordswoman, Elena accomplishes this with ease, in spite of the Prince getting in her way. When she discovers the land this difficult Prince rules is exactly what she has always yearned for, she implores him to allow her to stay. It isn't long, though, before she learns that they are threatened by a great evil force. Elena is willing to fight for what she has come to love, and willing to make any sacrifice to protect this special place, if only the Prince will cooperate. If you love a great epic, with magic, sword fights and a little bit of romance, you will love following Elena's story through to its dramatic conclusion. Sequel to 'UnGloved'! (Stands on its own.)

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

"I told you. I never did anything wrong." Her voice faded into a weak whisper. The Prince's eyes grew cold. "Beat her again. Beat her until she spills." The prince walked and turned away removing all possibility of pitying or giving compassion to the girl. Angel wailed in pain. The prince blinked away a hardened look as a small flush of guilt rushed over him. "Prince Chance.. Please..I didn't..I--I..." Another set of piercing agony shrilled upon her voice. "Please..." Her voice trailed off then rose to another yell of pain. The prince quickened his walking pace as the screams lessened. It's resonating vibrations from the stone cold walls of the long corridor bounced with an eerie echo. Abason..I'm coming. ~~~~~ Sooo, this is the second book to "The Roaming Archer Series!" If you haven't read the first book yet, I suggest that you do so. :) I'll try my best to make it readable for those who haven't read the first book, but I can't make any promises that I might miss some aspects that only the first book readers would know. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this book! ^_^
