To be a coin in the games of the powerful? Florian Keler—stripped of titles and freedom after becoming unnecessary to her patrons—has only one way left: to throw herself at the terrorists who are determined to bring down the ruling house of Wolenshtir. But a noble lady would never join killers of the innocent, no matter what slogans they hide behind. For the first time, she follows her own feelings and heads to Tyre Birlek, commander of the elite Legion and head of Wolenshtir’s intelligence.
Now Florian is back in the game—because in her native empire, they’re already dreaming of how to infiltrate the secrets of the northern neighbor. Why, then, does Tyre—the brilliant strategist, excellent psychologist, and master of intrigue—not only reveal the secrets of his unit to the foreigner, but also trains her in the Legion’s closed combat techniques, which the young mage had longed to master?
The answer to that question is still being sought by Florian’s mind, but her heart seems to have already found it.
