Heart of the Hunted

Autumn's future is on the line when a courier never shows up to retrieve weapons her family created for nobles of a northern kingdom, and those nobles dislike waiting. With no choice, Autumn sets out to deliver them herself, but she's never been outside the kingdom of Lohr and the country of Catalan is riddled with dark magic. Creatures long extinct have attacked villages, and her journey quickly becomes more about survival than adventure.

The Queen has ordered Sahlyn to bring her Autumn's heart after the mirror conjured her vision, but the young woman nearly plunges a blade through his instead. That is, after she saves his life.

With a life debt owed, Sahlyn produces a plan to trick the queen into thinking he's killed the girl. Despite the repercussions his failure will bring him, he lets the maiden go free.

Sparks fly when they are reunited on a perilous quest to find a legendary weapon that will end the queen's murderous reign, once and for all.
