[THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON THE 5th OCTOBER 2023] Fara's husband, the Prince of Azura, is murdered and she's enslaved by his killer, Theodan, a warrior fighting a war he doesn't believe in - until her. ***** Following the assassination of her husband and the invasion of the kingdom of Azura, Princess Fara is forced to go into hiding. She disguises herself as a lowly servant, determined to escape the war-torn capital, only to catch the eye of Theodan, the commander of the invading army that killed her family. Taken as his slave and a spoil of war, the last thing Fara expects is the forbidden connection that grows between them, compelling Theodan to protect her at any cost. But when Theodan discovers her true identity puts a target on her back, he will have to decide between saving the woman he loves, and betraying all he has ever known.
