    Summary

    Princess Ayla has lived her entire life behind palace walls, protected by protocol and propriety. But when assassins strike at a royal banquet, her beloved guard dies in her arms, and everything changes.

    The tournament to choose her new protector draws hundreds of Navarre’s finest warriors. None expect the masked victor to be Xaden Riorson—son of a executed traitor, marked as dangerous, and everything a princess should fear.

    He kneels before her with blood on his mouth and shadows at his back. He swears an oath with rebellion in his voice. And when their eyes meet, Ayla realizes the greatest threat isn’t the enemies hunting her.

    It’s the way she can’t look away from the most dangerous man in the kingdom.

    Summary

    Seren Telery survived her first year at Basgiath War College even with all of the odds stacked against her. But not everyone else survived with her. Soleil was a third-year and didn’t make it. And Liam… well, at least he wasn’t quite dead anymore. Seren isn’t even sure who she is anymore, but she’s still fighting on. There’s time to figure that out later. Right? Getting to call herself a second-year cost a lot, and surviving this year might cost even more.

    The continuation of Against All Odds, more or less following the events of Iron Flame.

    Summary

    The smell of paint captured Xaden's attention, that strange girl who had saved them smelled of paint, a lingering trail, subtle, but unmistakable, he watched her once more curiously, his onyx gaze roaming over her, looking for any clue as to who she was. Her hands looked delicate, there he discovered the trail of colors staining her skin, an artist he supposed.

    He notice flowers in her hair, her posture, her bright gaze, the way she smiled it was with such grace that it tightened his chest. Without any expectation the girl extended a flower toward him.

    “Here” The simple act left him unsettled, almost still as a statue, disbelief and surprise clouding his features. Such a simple act and he looked like a child. His scowl and cold stare, the one he was already so comfortable with, seems to slip for a second

    Who the hell was that girl?

    “There you are.” she mutters with a smile, as if she had gotten what she wanted. Leaving him standing there, with the damn flower in his hand.

    And he hates it. She couldn't be so many colors when his life was completely gray
