Ria, Robert, and John are an unlikely trio. The orphan girl raised by the tavern-keeper, the son of the Lord Earl, and the son of the noble family's butler. Just as they're beginning to come into adulthood, Robert's father the Lord Earl dies, thrusting them into political intrigue, a coup, an uprising and making them the unlikely enemies of the kingdom. Okay, so I suck at writing good descriptions. Just read the first chapter.
