Brutal Worlds Book 2
Most of what she treasured in the world was wrapped up in that one girl.
In the wake of a bloody uprising, King Ulric hires the reputable but mysterious Fenwick to protect his beloved daughter, Princess Hayden. Fenwick plans for the most important mission of her storied career, guarding Hayden far from any siege the rebels might launch against the castle. Fenwick swears to keep her relationship with Hayden strictly professional, but the princess’ interest in her tests Fenwick on every level. To cross the king’s line would surely end her career if not her life.
When immediate danger plunges the women into unthinkable violence, Fenwick bets their freedom on every skill she’s ever earned. No longer fighting for gold but something much more precious, Fenwick aims to take down their enemies and the insidious threat beyond. The courses of their lives stand forever altered. Fenwick accepts her duty to her country, but above all, she vows to shield Hayden from anyone who acts against them, no matter how powerful they might be.
