Daring Further

In the midst of troubling times, a penniless orphan of a once-great noble is growing up. Betrothed to a wealthy man she's never met, Vanessa breaks protocol and runs away from her home. A handsome stranger kidnaps her and holds her hostage, for mysterious reasons. He calls her a "political" prisoner. Hydun, as he is called, tries to bring her under his control- caught in the clutches of a plan greater than she can imagine, dark secrets and lies weave the two companions together inextricably. Faced with a choice that will either cost her everything she holds dear or destroy all she knows, Vanessa must make a decision- one that can change everything.
