About this book

A warrior with a death sentence fighting against impossible odds—Althea has only three years to transform her secret blade training into legendary status before time runs out. Defying a kingdom that forbids women from wielding weapons, she enters a brutal elite guild where the stakes are deadly and the trials push her to the brink, all while navigating an undeniable spark with the infuriatingly protective warrior assigned to watch over her. As dark forces close in and political intrigue swirls around them, Althea must prove she's more than just a rule-breaker—she has to become the hero the five kingdoms desperately need. Prepare for pulse-pounding action, genuine danger, and a slow-burn romance that'll make your heart race just as fast as the swordplay.
