Lady of Istok - Hardcover

"The lies we tell to protect ourselves are the most important lies we ever tell."

A heavily pregnant Almira forces Hira to return to Istok and lead her people. When Hira boards the Sea Wife, she doesn't expect Commander Justan to be combative and surly. He questions her every decision and challenges her authority. He's also clearly keeping his own secrets.

It's a journey fraught with complications and pain which will either kill her or make her rise as the Great Dragon.

With the High Seat contested and a war Almira might not be able to win, the second volume in The Queen's Red Guard turns the tables and unravels the world.

"She would harden her heart like a rock and carry it like armor. They could mangle her body, but never her heart."

Follow the next chapter in the ADULT FEMINIST FANTASY series focusing on the women who rule the kingdom and fight the wars.
