Sidney Brenner just wanted to find her father. Everyone was looking for him. He was someone important in the rebel movement – he had to be, or he wouldn't have had to run away leaving his family behind. It wasn't really so bad though, not until her mom died. Now she had to do something, and waiting for her father to come back was no longer an option. She also wanted to be useful to him and to the rebels, and being sold into slavery would not do that.

An inability to trust wisely can lead us to loneliness and isolation, or worse—putting our trust in the wrong people too easily.The good news is that the ability to trust is both a choice and a skill that you can develop. You do ...

Sean's crown was firmly in his hands, and his new bride and oldest friends managed the business of running the kingdom. The only trouble with this picture was that the entire rest of the country didn't have a clue. In order to be his own king, rather than a shadow sitting on his uncle's throne, he had to go to each district and tie the country together again. His uncle had had seventeen years to divide the districts and cow everyone through fear and torture. All that was done; he just had ...

Traveling the long way meant that Sean and his men were forced to take barges down river to the next garrison. It also exposed him to a danger he had been able to avoid traveling with a small army as he had been. Frustrated by the comparatively slow passage of distance under the boat, Sean was pacing the deck and though no one knew that he was the new king, he was obviously a wealthy traveler. One of the deck hands decided that a knife in the back, in the dark, would net him a comfortable ...
