If General Augustine Melgren was anything, it was unpredictable.

Nobody would have been surprised if he had stayed single forever. He had never shown interest in anything more than sex, but one day, word filtered back to King Tauri that his general had gotten married to a red-headed wisp of a girl from Tyrrendor.

The couple returned to the palace in Calldyr, only for the girl to fall pregnant shortly after.

Nobody expected the doting husband and father that emerged from the bitter, ice-cold man.

The small red-headed girl, who looked so much like her mother, had somehow managed to wrap the most powerful rider alive around her tiny fingers.

This is the story of Lyra Melgren.

Daughter of Augustine Melgren, the commanding General of all Navarre's forces, and Kenna Lewellen, a Tyrrish noble.
