    "They have not met my men." The Sovereign replied. In Rowland, a kingdom void of love, where even a kiss is unheard of, Princess Illyria is the prim and proper niece of the King, his bodyguard, and has spent her lifetime working towards that which she desires most, the role of General over the royal army. On the eve of her wedding to a wealthy local nobleman, a mysterious foreign ruler intrudes the castle walls; a masked leader known only as "The Sovereign." King Hal of Rowland assumes this invasion to be a declaration of war, but instead the masked monarch strikes a strange bargain. 100 of Morwick's youthful male elite must face off against 100 of Rowland's most prestigious young noblewomen in the Sovereign strange encampment. Upon arrival, the Morwick's weapon of choice is nothing like Illyria could have ever expected; neither is Meridian, the suave, light hearted General of the Soveriegn's army. All is fair when love IS war. ______ **450 pages of meticulously, professionally edited literary gold** **Ranked #1 in Historical Fiction on Wattpad for 7 months straight**
