Heiress Averie Winston has traveled to Chiarrin, where her
father is leading the army that has just invaded this exotic
land. She is delighted to be reunited with her fiance, who
is an officer in the army, and she is fascinated by
Chiarrin, so different from her home country. But as she
falls under the spell of this colorful new land, she begins
to question the ethics of imperialism...and she finds herself
attracted to a soldier named Ket Du?kai, a man so different
from anyone else she knows that he is changing the way she
views the world.

Interesting tidbit: The whole time I was writing this book, I was picturing actor Naveen Andrews as Ket Du’kai.
Favorite scene: The party in Chapter Ten…particularly Averie’s dance with Lieutenant Du’kai.
