A Peaceful Forgiveness

Ayslin leads a sheltered, lonely life, almost separated from people all together. She only sees her own town on Sunday walks, or from her windowsill, or when the villagers come in for feasts, balls, and court. She almost gets no time to be herself, and almost never sees any hope for the future. Almost. She has a secret. The forest. The one place she can escape to where she feels free of her past, present, and future.
She's not everyone's typical princess. She may appear sweet and innocent on the outside, but within, she struggles to withhold her emotions. She seeks revenge on the family friend who ruined her life and the lives of all those around her all those many years ago. She knows it isn't exactly right to feel that way, and she knows she must be obedient, but it's one of the most difficult parts of her life.
August comes along and she sees a ray of hope that has been long missing. But can he truly help her to control her emotions? Will he really be able to stop her if they ever get out of hand?
