Kingdom of Chains

Ryder Blackmane is a defender for life. His comrades are his family, and keeping them safe is all he has to offer the world. So when they are sent over the wall to investigate happenings in the east, he goes willingly, immune to everything outside of his orders. That is, until he meets Lady Isabel. She is a caged bird whose scars call to his. Best to ignore the calls and follow orders. Follow orders. Follow orders. Loyalty is everything, but the lines are blurring....

Brock Tatum has spent the past year training the newly formed Carmarthen Militia—and bracing for war. Tensions between Carmarthenshire and England are rising, and trade is under threat. Cue the Welsh princess, sent to bind kingdom and country. But not everyone is welcoming of the half-blood arrival. Now Tatum is charged with protecting the whole dysfunctional family, and Lady Charlotte’s rebellious nature might make this his toughest assignment yet. He must keep her alive as she attempts to win over battered hearts across the kingdom...and guard his own heart in the process.

Lina is no stranger to conflict. When her clan arrives on the shores of Cardiganshire for the summer, she is prepared for trouble. Sea warriors are tolerated in the Irish Sea but never on land. Luckily, the Wolfvanir are not hunting for friends but for food. They will not survive the winter without it. But the territory is already occupied by the Carmarthen Militia, an army with a history as dark as their own. A violent welcome brings Lina face to face with the general himself, a man who wants her gone—but not dead. In fact, he seems intent on keeping her alive. The question is why?
