But on the eve of a crucial visit by the heir of another House, the head of House Vasso suddenly dies. Schooled his entire life to inherit the lordship, his heir Tonas must contend with the agenda of his visitors as well as strife within his own family.
Watching all of this is the head bodyguard to Tonas and his family, Chessa, who will soon find herself caught up in a whirlwind of political intrigue and family betrayal.
For the past is about to catch up with House Vasso, and not one of them will escape the chaos that is to come.
with Ricky Smith “ I tend to write to drive the plot forward, dropping in moments of humour and emotion where necessary, and I almost always have a little bit of romantic (mis)adventure along the way! ”
