The Kingdom of Nereth (Book 1)

Description

Dark times are upon Nereth. The people are losing hope in ancient legend, which prophesies of one who will rise up, overthrow the evil king and queen, and restore peace. Like all others in Nereth, Edlyn has suffered greatly. Orphaned as a child, Edlyn grew up as a serf on the manor of a drunken lord. Now a spirited seventeen-year-old, Edlyn works to buy her freedom while fighting off the unwanted advances of Sheriff Hurst. But everything changes when Edlyn finds a young man in the stable who is hiding from Sheriff Hurst and inflicted with a sword wound. In a split-second decision, Edlyn conceals the young man, Maddock, from the sheriff and begins nursing him back to health. When Maddock then rescues Edlyn from Sheriff Hurst, they flee to enchanted Ravenshire Forest. As their daring escape unfolds, Edlyn and Maddock discover that their lives prove bound by a fate that neither of them could have possibly imagined.
