In Rowland, a kingdom void of love, where even a kiss is unheard of, Illyria is the prim and proper niece of the King, and his unofficial body guard. This princess has never been sated with her position, and has done everything in her power to climb the political ladder to reach the power and prestige she craves, the position of General over the kings army. On the eve of a marriage arranged to help her climb, a mysterious foreign ruler intrudes the castle walls, a masked leader known only as "The Sovereign." King Hal of Rowland takes this invasion to be a declaration of war, but instead the Sovereign is there to make him an offer he can't refuse.

If they fail, war will soon follow. In this medieval Hunger Games, What happens when politics meet passion? 100 of Morwick's men must face off against 100 of Rowland's women during "Bedding Camp".

Highest Standing: #2 in Historical Fiction ____________________ She has mixed blood. She is reminded of it every day. Half Scottish and half Norse, she has always been a bit of an outcast. She takes refuge in the arts of swordsmanship and archery, something those around her deem unfit for a girl. When men from the north come back to the Isles again, the King of the North decides to take Lagertha back to his homeland to be his wife. She is savvy enough to persuade him that she should be set free from his wedding plans, but The King of North has another idea in mind. He intends to make the myth of the shield-maiden real and there is nothing she can do to stop him. Caught up in a bloody war between clans, Lagertha must decide if she is willing to go against all she believes and abandon her home to protect her friends or if she will leave her new life behind to return to the one she was torn from. ****** This is not historically accurate. There may be some violent scenes that may disturb readers.
