GENRE: Historical Fantasy


 

Coral, the second of seven sisters, has been hiding her affair with the perfect man until her older sister can get her life together. But the perfect man is getting impatient and now she’s gotten pregnant. Coral decides it’s time to consider her own happiness.

 

But what does she want? The perfect husband turns out to be less than ideal. She adores the small children she teaches but the idea of being a mother fills her with joy. Meanwhile, her homeland is gripped by fear of a Mongol invasion and she can’t stop crying about everything now that she’s with child.

 

Then a friend suggests the ever-caring Coral possesses a power well beyond what she or anyone else imagines. Does she? And why is the idea so appealing?

 

When Coral’s big sister loses faith in the army and decides to craft a way to use magic to save Ilari from the Mongols, she decides Coral’s formidable talent is what the realm needs. Can Coral raise a baby, placate an absent military husband who thinks he’s stopping the invasion, and help her sister save her homeland?


Exclusive Excerpt:

Later that night, Davor and I sat by the fire talking. The rest of the household had tactfully gone to bed. He held my hand, the friendliest gesture he’s exhibited so far.

 

“So how are things in Pilk?” I asked. A good wife is supposed to show an interest in her husband’s profession, right?

 

“Eh. Politics.” He gave a disgusted shrug. “As the Mozdol with the most fighting experience, I thought I’d be in charge of training the troops for this coming invasion. Then the rulers got together and picked some stupid prince to oversee what I’m doing. Just because he’s got royal blood; blood he’s never shed a drop of.”

 

“I’m sorry Davor. You don’t need any Royal looking over your shoulder. ”

 

“You bet I don’t. The men like me and I understand battle. Nobody respects this prince and the cushy life he’s lived.”

 

I was pretty sure this stupid prince was Nevik, my sister’s lover. So much for the idea of he and Davor becoming friends.

 

 “Is this the same prince everyone is talking about? Recently engaged to a princess from another realm?”

 

“Yup. Marrying a foreigner. Got only half his brain on the Mongols while the other half is occupied with what’s happening between his sheets.”

 

I said nothing.
