Averyn Marylyn is a young part-time barista working in a cosy cafe owned by a French woman in bustling London. The cafe, a favourite haunt for soldiers, becomes a hub of activity, especially when the prestigious Colonel Calliax Andres becomes a regular patron. However, Averyn's days are far from ordinary, as she finds herself entangled in a complex web of relationships and emotions.

Enter Zayden Doun, Averyn's childhood friend and a young private with a British-Chinese heritage. As Averyn navigates the ups and downs of her daily life, she finds solace and support in Zayden's unwavering friendship.

But it's Colonel Andres who proves to be the most enigmatic figure in Averyn's world. Despite his esteemed rank, the colonel's demeanour oscillates between a prideful soldier in public and an annoying jerk in private. Every encounter with him leaves Averyn frustrated and exasperated, yet there's an undeniable tension simmering beneath the surface.

As Averyn grapples with her feelings for both Zayden and Colonel Andres, she finds herself drawn into a whirlwind of emotions, navigating the complexities of love, loyalty, and self-discovery. Will she succumb to the charms of the dashing colonel, or will she choose the comfort and familiarity of her childhood friend? And amidst the chaos of her personal life, will Averyn be able to find her voice and stand up for what she truly believes in?"


Averyn: "Welcome to Le Petit Café, where every cup tells a story."


Colonel Andres: "I'll have my usual, and make it quick."


Averyn: "Pleasure as always, Colonel."


Zayden: "Hey, Ave. Long time no see."


Averyn: "Zayden! It's been too long."


Colonel Andres: "You're wasting your time here, Averyn. You should be doing something more... worthwhile."


Averyn: "I'll decide what's worthwhile for myself, thank you very much."


Averyn: "Sometimes, the hardest battles are the ones we fight within ourselves."

❝You are just a WOMAN. You can't fight in this war, you're weak. It will chew you up and spit you out, you can't keep up with us.❞ The commander scoffed with a low chuckle. A couple of men behind him chuckled as well. Evander's gaze burned into the side of my head, awaiting my reply like everyone else. ❝If I can't fight, then why did the Queen herself ask me to take over your job for the time being?❞ I asked, pulling my dagger out from its sheath, taping on Commander Leland's breastplate with the tip, ❝Careful who you call weak Commander because you clearly don't know who I am.❞ He crossed his arms defensively, ❝Oh yeah? And who are you?❞ I leaned forward lightly, ❝The name's Aislin.❞ ________________ Her name was well-known throughout the kingdoms. Some believed she was just an urban legend, while others thought she was real but some believed she didn't exist at all. She was labeled "the infamous warrior" because she was known for destroying kingdoms with her bare hands. She was a woman, but she set a strong example for tens of thousands of men. She disappeared after a horrific accident. Years had passed, and she had led a life free of violence. After all those years, she was itching to return to the battlefield. Her wish was granted when Queen Aria of Kavan herself approached her and informed her of the events unfolding in her kingdom, requesting her assistance. A sexist Commander, a caring queen, a slacker army, new friendships, and an intriguing yet hothead prince are among the challenges she faces. She's got a lot to handle. --- REVIEWS (more inside) "If you put equal portions of action, adventure, comedy, mystery, romance & feminism in a ninja blender and set it to high power, YOU 👏 GET👏 AISLIN👏. Plus a splash of feminism and diversity makes everything instantly better. SO GOOD!" - @shelsontheloose Copyright © 2021 by WriterMickeyC (of Wattpad) All Rights Reserved COVER: Guinealove2005
