Skye

My whole life, I've heard stories of the Dark Lord of Ashfuror, horrifying tales of torture and death that gave me nightmares as a child. When I turned eighteen, I committed myself to defending my home city of Greatfalls against the threat, and in six short years I rose to the rank of Commander of the Archers. All I want to do is keep my city safe.

But when war finally comes, I find myself not on the front lines, but engaged to be married to the Dark Lord as part of a fragile treaty. I arrive for the wedding intent on destroying the source of the Dark Lord's power and preserving my home's security and autonomy forever.

But soon I find that all is not as it seems. The Dark Lord is not a monster, but a handsome, infuriating man. And my home city of Greatfalls is not the innocent sanctuary I always thought it was.
