“I just want to know why! Why can’t I be Talyn’ain? Why can’t I at least try? Kendi did!”
Teshian turned away. “Kendi is a commoner. Common women try for the Talyn’ain because they’re poor with no income; you don’t fit that category.”
Misidentified by invading soldiers as a servant girl, Lady Jalani Havarna is passed over during the massacre of her lord father, lady mother, and lord brother. Determined to prove she is not worthless or helpless, she fights for the right to train as an elite Talyn'ain bodyguard and for respect from others, but in the anonymity of a new life with her guardian family, she is ever fearful the murderers will realize their oversight and come looking for her.
