Shadow Sword

Defending those they swore to protect might cost more than they bargained for.

Sellsword Morrgan wants nothing more than to defend innocent people. So when Dibhid, the king of Cunlaran, offers her and her friends the opportunity, she can hardly say no. But working for Dibhid could expose her secret-she's not only a princess but Dibhid's childhood ex-best friend. If he ever realizes who he has in his castle, Morrgan's life will come crashing down. The problem is, it's more difficult keeping her distance than it should be.

Dibhid is desperate to protect his subjects against an invading enemy intent on stealing his throne. Cautious with lives and hoping to avoid war, Dibhid hires sellswords to gather information undercover. But when the mission goes sideways and people get hurt, Dibhid's fear of failing his subjects worsens. The only effective balm seems to be spending time with one of his new hires . . .

As the pair grows closer, enemy attacks turn deadlier and the team's mission becomes paramount. With secrets and lives on the line, Morrgan and Dibhid must ask themselves what they're willing to risk before everything they've worked for is lost.
