Sometimes, even the most delicate things can seem dangerous but these things are too fragile to be counted. I can choose him, but this fragile choice could ruin me or my cause, and I can't afford that, even if it means the end of my life. But the sight of him takes my breath away. I've met countless men in my nineteen years, but why is he different? Why is he the one whose gaze makes my heart, Calista's heart of iron, beat? " Scarlet the elusive leader of the Rebel, has dedicated her life to overthrowing King Edward's tyrannical rule over Redelvrid. For years, she has inspired her people to fight for justice and freedom, using fear and intimidation to keep the king in check.
