Ambience

What if the only safe place in the world for an escaped slave was in a king's harem?

My last hope for escaping my vicious master crumbles to dust when the High Temple in Gretolia refuses me sanctuary. I know the warlord will stop at nothing to get me back, but I would rather die than endure any more of his cruelty. There's no place on the continent I can escape his grasp...until a kind stranger suggests I audition for the king's harem.

It's the only place the warlord can’t reach me, but rumors of the king's strange bed habits have me wondering if I'll be trading one tyrant for another. I'll take the gamble – if the mage king will have a scarred woman like me – and then I'll fade into the background among a throng of women.

But his majesty, King Jasper, is looking for something different, and I've caught his eye. The secrets of the king's bedchamber will endanger not just my body, but my heart as well. Now, I'm not so sure I want to avoid his attention.
