Isolis

In the medieval territory of Isolis there are strict social classes. At puberty, servant-class girls can choose to pursue training in domestic servitude or wifery in a house called the domicel. It was many years ago that Una chose a life of domestic servitude. However, a sadistic innkeeper bids on Una as a bride for his younger brother, and to her horror, she is sold. Soon, she finds that her new husband's kindness is the exact comfort she needs in the uncertainty of her new life. But, there are long-buried secrets that threaten to destroy their love.

"The memory of his hand on her waist at their wedding flashed in her mind. She felt a wave of shame roll over her. He was kind. He was strange, but he was kind and she drank like she wanted to die right in front of him at their wedding. A wedding he also didn't ask for, but has yet to lay any guilt on her about. No, he's had nothing but her best interest in mind since they met. She felt something when that thought occurred to her. She felt cared for, and protected for the first time in two days when all she'd felt was helpless.

She wanted to creep into bed with him and curl up beneath his chest, to intensify the feeling of his protection. Maybe that was the stability she had been looking for."
