Against the Crown

Dhara's life was turned upside down once before, and she had recovered nicely from it, thank you very much.

Then the king dies, which is enough cause for worry, and the reason for all the past upheaval in her life walks in through the front door with the youngest prince when a necromancer and his goons try to kill her. She is glad for his help, but does she want him around after all this time?

Malachi was a warrior mage. He always knew the path his calling would lead him on, and that path did not include Dhara.

Years later, as Captain of the Guard to the suspiciously-dead king, Malachi finds out that he needs to protect Dhara, and do so at all costs, because there is something about her that neither of them knew before that placed her high on the Queen's kill list.

Can they overcome their past differences and work together to save Sansia as they know it?

Can they forget past hurts and go up against the crown for the sake of their kingdom?
