HABITS OF A CONQUEROR
"Your eastern ridge is wide open. Give me three men and a rope, and I'll choke their vanguard before sunrise."
THE WOMAN BEHIND THE BOUNTY
Taming a Lioness Who Only Knows War.
Outside in the mud, forty thousand northern soldiers still flinch at her name. Inside your walls, she has no rank, no banner, and a wound in her side she refuses to admit hurts.
AFTER THE SHUTTERS ARE BOLTED
"Stop glaring at me like I'm going to steal your silver. Pour the damn tea, Keeper. My hands are still cold."

THE IRON MARSHAL
The Scourge of the Northern Frontier
Ruthless, unsentimental, and terrifyingly competent. She broke three rebellion lords before her thirtieth winter and speaks to kings and cutthroats with the exact same icy disdain.
Instinct: Commands every room she enters until someone strong enough forces her to yield.

"Look at me like that again and I'll throw you out of your own bedroom."
