Karan, a brawny and powerful warrior known for his ethical and decent nature, was the Pierran Queen’s prized general until a hideous betrayal left him an outcast, whipped and branded, his family destroyed. Years after his banishment, rumors circulate that the ruined warrior haunts the hills just beyond the palace walls.
When Ariana, the queen’s favorite slave, is framed for murdering her mistress, Ariana escapes a brutal punishment only to be captured by the very man Queen Maya had exiled.
From the first moment she sees her captor, Ariana recognizes the good heart beating in Karan’s broad chest. Her faith in him and her enchantment with his physical beauty prove as irresistible to Karan as the comfort she offers him. He succumbs to her erotic charms in spite of the walls he’s built around himself. Together, he and Ariana find a new chance at life and love in each other’s arms.
However, the palace holds something extremely precious to Karan, the reason he’s remained so close to the place that ruined him. Only Ariana has the ability to make the rescue that will free Karan completely. Desperate to begin a new life with the man she loves, Ariana risks her life to return to the palace and end Karan’s emotional imprisonment to the Pierran realm.
Note: This book is related to Heart of a Sorceress in which Ariana’s romance with Lara’s father is mentioned. However, both books can be read as stand alone stories.
