The Power That Binds

Summary

A year on from Julia Morton's arrival at Fortress Athione, an uneasy truce is being maintained between Deva and her enemies, but the Protectorate never rests. Believing himself destined to rule, Lord Mortain orders a new two-pronged attack into motion and unleashes General Navarien upon the North in an effort to bypass Julia's guardianship of Deva's western border. 

Julia is content to live in the fortress with her lover, Lord Keverin, but reality intrudes with news from the capital. Thoughts of love, romance, and wedding dresses have to be put on hold. With the king dead and the lords vying for his throne, her new priority has to be ensuring the right man is chosen for the job.
