Lord of Winter

After years of darkness, Eric Livna, newly appointed lord of Tsaftown, returns from the battlefield ready to properly assume his title and become a true husband and father to his family. His marriage to Lady Viola, though arranged and built on mutual duty, has lacked the warmth of true affection, but Eric is hoping to bridge the emotional distance between them. For too long Lady Viola Livna has silently endured the injustices woven into Tsaftown's laws-laws she believes will threaten their daughter's future. Determined to forge a better path for their family, she quietly works on a plan to change things...even if it means keeping secrets from her husband. When Eric's cousin, the ambitions Sir Fenris Yarden, stirs up division in Tsaftown and wreaks havoc on the Livnas' marriage, Eric and Viola must decide whether to let betrayal tear them apart or to unite against the forces trying to destroy them. Together, they will need to fight not only for their city, but also for the fragile trust they've begun to rebuild-before everything they hold dear is lost forever.
