Ayra of Darkwater Quarry

Born in the rock and dust of Darkwater Quarry, Ayra is resigned to a life in the debtor camp like the generations before her. But when the charming Prince Gibsen arrives offering to escort her and her younger brother to a wealthy relative in the northern country of Tiseden, Ayra gets a chance to see what had only existed in her dreams. Trading the safety of Darkwater for the unknown, Ayra embarks on a journey that reveals things on the outside are not always what they seem. Thrust into the sole companionship of a rogue soldier, she seeks to uncover her family's secret-a secret that will either save the country she struggles to belong in or make her a pawn in the hands of a man who would destroy it.
