Twist of Fate

Amulette Learisa was turning sixteen when her parents arranged her in a marriage with Lemencly Auswald, an eighteen year old son of the people who sustained and controlled the land Amulette's family was living in--a farm. Amulette had always been the good girl her parents told her to be. She followed rules and obeyed her parents. In return, they loved her and gave her a home. Agreeing to this marriage condition was the least she could do for the couple who took her in. Lemencly or "Lenick" was, well, the total opposite of her. He often snuck out of the house and hung out in bars. He didn't talk with his parents and was simply a rebel. He didn't like the marriage at all. But he risked losing his family if he didn't humor them. On the day they first met . . . let's just say it wasn't "love at first sight".
