The Labyrinthine Rule of Lavina Theron

Commander Lavina Theron has spent her life earning what her nobility could never provide: the unwavering trust of the soldiers she leads. Gifted with powerful bloodline abilities and fiercely devoted to Arkendrath, she would sacrifice her life to protect the kingdom she loves and the throne her sister will one day inherit. She never expected to weigh the cost of standing between kings until she meets a foreign sea captain who values her above everything in existence. He challenges Lavina as an equal, reveals a world where those in power are expected to have the strength to defend those they rule, and believes she should never have to surrender the woman beneath her title. As war rages and secrets buried beneath generations of lies begin to surface, Lavina finds herself caught between all she has sworn to defend... and the possibility that even the strongest commander was never meant to carry so many burdens into battle. In the end, neither steel nor stone decides the fate of kingdoms. People do.
