Actions speak louder than words…
Solena, a young healer with a generous heart, is desperate to heal her dying grandfather. When she ventures into a hostile territory to find a rare herb, she finds out just how much she’s risked when she’s captured by the enemy and accused of being a spy.
As a soldier, Rundan has struggled all his life to please his father, a ruthless army commander, but when he’s ordered to take the beautiful trespasser to the royal courts, where she’ll be summarily tried and executed, he’s plagued by the most inconvenient desire to protect her at all costs.
Though terrified and anxious to escape, Solena is confused by the handsome young soldier who cruelly captures her and then displays uncommon kindness. When he risks his own life to save her, she discovers she may have risked more than her life… she may have lost her heart.

(a novel)
...a romantic fantasy for young adults
Analisia is a seer, a princess with a courageous spirit--and a soft spot for Legends.
Jovani is a legend, a commoner with little patience for pampered royals.
Analisia is supposed to keep her visions a secret, but when her servant girl is abducted in her place, she feels compelled to use her gift to find the girl, even if it means disappointing her imposing grandmother, the queen. Disguised as plain Ana, the princess slips away from the palace and joins in the search for the missing girl with the girl's brother, Jovani.
Jovani also has a secret: he's a sentinel, a being who can take the form of a falcon and fly upon the skies. Together they search for the missing girl, attempt to solve the mystery of her disappearance, and evade attempts to capture Ana.
A princess and a commoner. They never should have fallen in love, but they did.
