Don't kill the messengers.
Gen wants nothing more than to travel, work as a bodyguard for the King's Envoys, and hit things with her sword. It's the perfect job until the King sends her and her friend Cordyn into war-torn enemy territory on a mission to deliver vital military intelligence to an allied nation.
The problem? The mission is a sham.
Gen has been tasked with watching Cordyn and making sure he's not a spy who is selling information to the enemy. Cordyn is the worst kind of libertine: brash, arrogant, and on the run from half the husbands in the kingdom, but Gen can't imagine him betraying her or their nation.
Normally, she'd enjoy the excitement of traveling with Cordyn, but now she has to lie to him and watch his every move, even as they encounter enemy troops, bandits, and revenge-driven mages.
As events spiral out of control, they embark on a daring rescue, complicated by Cordyn's increasingly complex schemes. Learning of an ominous enemy plot that threatens their safety and that of the companions they meet along the way, Gen and Cordyn must decide what matters most. Their nation or their friends.
A rollicking fantasy adventure for fans of Nicholas Eames and Michael J. Sullivan.
