A Tale of Two Kingdoms

The kingdoms of Sorean and Ikharyn have always been at war with each other, for as long as anyone could remember. Ava, a 20-years-old orphaned shieldmaiden, knows no other life beyond her training as part of the Valkyries, a subdivision of the Ikharyn Elite Guard, made up entirely of women. All that is about to change when her kingdom is attacked by the Sorean King in an attempt to stop a prophecy from being fulfilled. Ava then goes on a mission to avenge her fallen sisters. With the help of her newfound gypsy friends, she manage to infiltrate the Sorean castle only to find herself captured and tortured in the hands of a Sorean Prince. Magical bondage, riding crop, and blindfold aside, she cannot fathom the person behind the Prince's cold dragon mask. But Ava eventually discovers that everything is not as it seems in this endearing coming-of-age story about magic, war, friendship and of course, love. Dubbed a Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, A Tale of Two Kingdoms is a story about how love can overcome prejudice and ultimately, conquers all. ----Two kingdoms at war. A prophecy by a Seer. A shieldmaiden.
