❝You are just a WOMAN. You can't fight in this war, you're weak. It will chew you up and spit you out, you can't keep up with us.❞ The commander scoffed with a low chuckle. A couple of men behind him chuckled as well. Evander's gaze burned into the side of my head, awaiting my reply like everyone else. ❝If I can't fight, then why did the Queen herself ask me to take over your job for the time being?❞ I asked, pulling my dagger out from its sheath, taping on Commander Leland's breastplate with the tip, ❝Careful who you call weak Commander because you clearly don't know who I am.❞ He crossed his arms defensively, ❝Oh yeah? And who are you?❞ I leaned forward lightly, ❝The name's Aislin.❞ ________________ Her name was well-known throughout the kingdoms. Some believed she was just an urban legend, while others thought she was real but some believed she didn't exist at all. She was labeled "the infamous warrior" because she was known for destroying kingdoms with her bare hands. She was a woman, but she set a strong example for tens of thousands of men. She disappeared after a horrific accident. Years had passed, and she had led a life free of violence. After all those years, she was itching to return to the battlefield. Her wish was granted when Queen Aria of Kavan herself approached her and informed her of the events unfolding in her kingdom, requesting her assistance. A sexist Commander, a caring queen, a slacker army, new friendships, and an intriguing yet hothead prince are among the challenges she faces. She's got a lot to handle. --- REVIEWS (more inside) "If you put equal portions of action, adventure, comedy, mystery, romance & feminism in a ninja blender and set it to high power, YOU 👏 GET👏 AISLIN👏. Plus a splash of feminism and diversity makes everything instantly better. SO GOOD!" - @shelsontheloose Copyright © 2021 by WriterMickeyC (of Wattpad) All Rights Reserved COVER: Guinealove2005

Ever since Lucas was a boy, he dreamed of finding his own dinosaur... only now it might come true. Being appointed second in command on the biggest excavation in his career is a task he will take seriously. It means hard work, no distractions and nothing will break that until he's gotten through the rocks in his way. Not even the cute little newbie who's caught his eye. Thea Marshal is the definition of a rookie. Recently qualifying as a palaeontologist, she is nervous, excited and more than ready to start her career. Months fly by and the only experience in her name is between the four walls of a lab... until she gets picked up as the newest crew member of the biggest excavation in the last 5 years. It's time for Thea to pack up to South Africa and throw herself right into the rocks. Who knows, maybe she'll find her first dinosaur... or a rock that, when polished, might just turn into love. Spin Off to the Simple Love Trilogy. 1: Hand In Mine 2: Sure Thing 3. You And I *These are all interconnected and you don't have to read any of them first however I strongly recommend at least reading Sure Thing as it will explore the main MC's background.
