Lunette, the People's Warrior, has come to Whitehaven. Now she's working with Bonfire, a hot-headed hero who's more likely to hurt than help the people he's protecting. Lunette and Bonfire along with Strike, a woman with powers and a mystery of her own, Cabaya, a strong archer, and Marryn, an axe-wielding woman in love, must learn to work together and trust one another to protect Whitehaven against the criminal organization of the Xanites. Princess Rachel Colville of Zorba's Reach is a prim and proper princess who follows orders, even if she's being forced to marry Prince Gary Naxison of Ada's Circle. Rachel, along with her sister and her maid, travels to Ada's Circle to meet her betrothed. Now Rachel has two years to fall in love with Gary, the betrothed she has nothing in common with, but will Prince Rodger, the younger twin brother who seeks her affection, be the one to catch her heart?
