The Queen's Guard Paperback

Shadows saved her. Love broke her. Happiness and love are fleeting. That's the truth of it. Alex had once believed she had both. Her life was anything but simple, but she had loved it, had been loved. Alex had been the unbreakable shield of the Varon Province's queen, despite breaking all the rules, and risking her position as the Queen's Guard. When betrayal strikes without warning and her queen vanishes in the dead of night, suspicion and unrest grip the realm of Diathan. Loyalty to the province demands Alex stand firm in her unwavering duty despite her broken faith and bring her queen home. Traversing treacherous mountain passes, trials of haunting memories, and whispers of ancient magic, Alex must tap into her own strength, and draw upon the skills instilled in her at an early age, in order to survive. On her quest to find her queen, Alex crosses paths with Davin, an unlikely ally, who holds her life in his hands whether she likes it or not. His persistence to stay by her side makes her question everything she thought she wanted and yearn for something she never knew she needed. Oaths will be broken and Thorns unleashed.
