Publisher's Synopsis
The Sword Masters have strict rules about who can and who can not be one of them, but Tarius is determined to avenge the death of her father and she doesn't care about the Jethrick's archaic rules or about breaking them. Especially the one that says women can't wield steel.Her parents were both great warriors, and upon her father's death at the hands of their ancestral enemy, the Amalites, his cause becomes hers. Like her father before her, she joins the Sword Masters academy. But while he only kept one secret from the, she is keeping two. When the headmaster's beautiful, willful daughter Jena falls in love with Tarius, thinking she's a man, she know that this, and not an enemy's sword or spear, will be her undoing.Tarius leads the Armies of the King in battle after battle, securing a victory for him against the Amalites. Then, though she saves the King's life--not once, but twice--she knows that not even this will stop his wrath when he learns all that she truly is."Selina Rosen writes an action adventure with a heroine who is as hard as nails, and just as sharp. I guarantee, you won't want to put this one down." --Laura J. Underwood, author of Ard Magister and The Black Hunter.
