Description

Discover a world of adventure, heartache, and courage in the Anacafrian kingdom. Duchess Aurelia "Bree" Makenna, beloved cousin to the king and third in line for the throne, is a hero to knights and foot soldiers alike. But a year ago, she lost her wife to the plague and now finds herself struggling with the depths of despair.

When Bree stumbles on a trader selling an orphan he trapped in the woods, she makes a monumental decision to buy the child, unleashing a chain of events that will change her life and the kingdom forever.

With Becca and Nashotah, lesbian lovers and warriors who help Bree and the orphan, Katie, trust each other's strengths and understand their weaknesses, and with Animal Spirit Guides who entertain with snatches of wit and wisdom, this epic fantasy full of lady knights who lead warriors into battle is sure to captivate readers from the start.

With stakes higher than ever before, will Bree be able to find the courage within herself to face down her fears and save the kingdom? 

This fantasy series has won the Lesfic Bard Award two times running. This first book in the series is where your journey begins.

    If you like your sci-fi multi dimensional, this series has it all. It held me from the beginning, honestly, the best stuff I’ve read in a long time, a unique world, a spiritual aspect labeled fantasy, but which is much more, woman loving woman, women warriors—loved it. Get it, you won’t be disappointed.

    This story just dragged on and on. I found myself skipping 40 or 50 pages only to find myself in the same scene and nothing had changed. It was like having a tooth pulled ever so slowly.
