What to expect
Magic is outlawed in the kingdom of Lyonesse. So when Niamh's forbidden witchcraft is exposed, she flees her village disguised as a man. But she never meant to end up on a battlefield.
Mistakenly conscripted into a brutal war between a cursed kingdom and the powerful sorceress threatening to reclaim her stolen crown, Niamh now hides another secret as she's thrust into a world where survival relies on more than luck - it demands alliances.
Niamh must obey Prince Fitzroy, the king's sharp-tongued commander, who is everything she despises, and everything she struggles to resist. But as sparks ignite between them, Niamh finds unexpected comfort in Bash - a loyal soldier whose warmth, charm, and quiet devotion begin to unravel the walls around her heart. Until Niamh is forced to choose: obey the prince who could expose her, trust the soldier who could love her, or embrace the forbidden magic that could save them all.
But war is merciless, and not everyone will live to see which side prevails.
