She Refused to Love Her Husband Through the Flames
The falling torch cut a streak of bright orange fire through the cold night air.High on the balcony, Amelia screamed, her voice tearing raw from her throat as she threw her body against the stone railing. "Arthur!"In the courtyard below, time seemed to stop for Alexander.Every instinct as a father and a warrior exploded inside him at once. He didn't hesitate, didn't check his bleeding ribs, and didn't look at the line of imperial swords waiting to cut him down. He sprinted forward, his boots digging into the wet mud as he drove his body straight toward the base of the watchtower.The flaming torch hit the dry hay beneath the wooden cradle. A sudden burst of bright yellow fire erupted into the dark sky, crackling loudly as thick gray smoke billowed up toward the parapets."Block him!" the Emperor roared from above, pointing a gloved hand down into the yard. "Kill him!"Ten heavy soldiers in iron armor stepped directly into Alexander’s path, their long spears leveled at his chest.Al
She Refused to Love Her Husband The Weight of Steel
The cold in the dungeon cell felt heavy enough to bruise.Amelia sat on the damp stone floor, clutching her injured shoulder as the horror of Lord Richard’s words settled over her. The faint torchlight flickering through the iron bars of the cell door threw long, jagged shadows across the old man’s hollow cheeks."He wants Alexander to do what?" Amelia asked, her voice barely a breath in the quiet cell."The Iron Emperor doesn't just want power, child," Lord Richard said, his iron manacles clanking softly as he shifted against the wall. "He wants to break the line of Kingsley completely. If he kills Alexander, my son becomes a martyr. If he makes Alexander execute the woman he loves to save our people, Alexander will be destroyed from the inside out. He will be a broken puppet on a throne."Amelia’s stomach churned with nausea. She thought of Alexander’s dark, fierce eyes, the way he had held her hand in the small cottage, and the terrible weight he carried on his shoulders every sing
She Refused to Love Her Husband The Shadow of the Wall
The air in the canyon smelled of burned gunpowder and damp stone.Amelia lay on her stomach in the cold dirt, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird. Pain radiated from her left shoulder, hot and sharp, spreading down her arm until her fingers felt completely numb. Every shallow breath pulled at the torn flesh near her collarbone.Ten yards ahead, the heavy iron-reinforced gate sat firmly shut. Behind those thick wooden beams, the fading sound of horse hooves confirmed that Arthur was inside. He was gone."Raise your bow and you die where you stand, hunter!" a guard yelled from the watchtower above.Amelia forced her head up, her vision blurring at the edges. Up on the wooden parapet, thirty crossbowmen kept their weapons trained on Kaelen, who had pulled her bay horse to a sharp stop fifty yards back at the edge of the tree line. Kaelen’s hand hovered over her quiver, her jaw clenched tight, but she didn't draw. She knew the math. Thirty steel bolts against one long
She Refused to Love Her Husband The Burning Wire
"Hold his head!" Thomas barked, dropping the bowl of cold water onto the bedside table. "Don't let him bite his tongue! Keep his mouth clear!"Amelia threw her weight across Alexander’s broad chest, holding his shoulders down as his body shook in violent, rhythmic spasms. His back arched off the mattress, the freshly sewn stitches across his ribs straining against the thick white bandages. Tiny threads of dark crimson began to leak through the cotton cloth once more."Alexander! Stay with me!" Amelia screamed, tears spilling over her lashes and landing on his flushed, burning cheeks. "You promised me! You promised we would protect our family together! Fight it!"Lord Vane and Captain Marcus rushed into the tiny bedroom, their boots thundering against the wooden floorboards. Vane grabbed Alexander’s thrashing legs, while Marcus pinned his left arm to the bed. Evelyn stood pressed against the stone wall, her hands over her mouth, muffling her desperate prayers.For two terrifying minute
She Refused to Love Her Husband The Black Citadel
The name hung in the damp night air like a heavy iron weight."The Black Citadel..." Amelia repeated, her voice barely a whisper above the steady splash of the oars. Her fingers tightened around Alexander’s cold hand.The Black Citadel was a nightmare mothers used to keep their children from wandering into the western mountains after dark. It was a fortress carved out of jagged obsidian stone, sitting high above the boiling tides of the Iron Coast. No prisoner who entered its heavy iron gates had ever returned to see the light of day."He's taking a six-month-old baby to a fortress?" Evelyn cried, her hands flying to her mouth as fresh tears spilled down her bruised cheeks. "Why would he give Arthur to the Iron Emperor?!""Because Christian is a coward," Kaelen said bitterly, wiping the dark blood off her hunting knives with a rag before she tucked them into her belt. She stood at the edge of the riverboat, her sharp amber eyes scanning the dark shore. "He wanted the crown, but he did
She Refused to Love Her Husband The Shadow on the River
The heavy iron grappling hooks dug deep into the wooden rails of the riverboat, sending a shudder through the deck that nearly knocked Amelia off her knees. Wood splintered, spitting jagged sharp shavings into the mist."Hold on!" Captain Marcus yelled, his hands straining against the tiller as the force of the hooks yanked their small boat sideways against the black hull of the massive war-galley.Amelia threw her upper body over Alexander, using her own frame to protect his wounded chest from the flying debris. Behind her, Evelyn shrieked, clutching Lord Vane’s arm as the boat tipped at a dangerous angle before slamming hard against the iron-plated side of the enemy ship.Above them, the towering figure in spiked black armor sneered down from the warship’s high deck. The yellow glow of his iron lantern illuminated his broad, battle-scarred face and the sharp rows of iron spikes lining his shoulders."Cut the ropes!" Marcus barked at the two remaining palace guards. "Cut us free befo
