Back Blurb for book: The Rebel Duchess, Book One of the Chronicles of Ilseador

Meet the Rebel Duchess herself!

“Lady Genevieve.” Lord Prydeen greeted her - coldly, but not correctly.

“The proper title is ‘Your Grace’, messir.”
And if she told herself that a few more times, perhaps she could dare to face him.

A wintry smile passed over the sorcerer's lips – gone as quickly as snow in the Summer. “No longer, I fear. My former master stripped you of your titles for your treasonous activities.”
“My Lord Prydeen! What passes here?” The mild voice interrupted from the direction of the stairs, but was no one Genevieve recognized.
Lord Prydeen’s voice was a curious mix of ingratiating and dismissive. “Nothing you need trouble yourself over, Your Majesty. Some rabble found her way up here, clearly to cause some trouble to you. It is my task and my privilege to safeguard Your Highness. We’ll be away momentarily.”
Gentle hands cleared away the thongs that had begun to lash her wrists. “Surely you are mistaken, my Lord Prydeen. This is no rabble, but Her Grace, the Duchess Genevieve Stellarine of Elaarwen.”
“Yes, my Lord, the so-called ‘Rebel Duchess’,” Lord Prydeen’s voice was growing impatient. “I am taking her to the castle dungeons to have out of her what she knows."

What should I read next?

The King's Champion: Book Two of the Chronicles of Ilseador
It has been five years since Damien took the throne, defeated his grandfather's Evil Wizard Apprentice, Lord Prydeen, and married the beautiful Rebel Duchess, Genevieve Stellarine.
Five years of knowing he's the luckiest man in the world for having discovered his soul-bonded true love...
But also five years of chaos as he and GEnevieve - with the helpof Adam and Jason - try to tame the unruly nobles of the Realm, reclaim the Lost Provinces... and while Genevieve suffers through ten terrible miscarriages, leaving her almost too weak to live, let alone continue on as Damien's Warrior-Queen.

All Damien and Genevieve have to hang their hopes on are the prophecy - or curse - that Lord Prydeen gave them with his dying breath:
"You have a Champion of a problem, young king."

A malevolence seems to fill the storm that rushes in from the mountains just as word comes in of a pirate fleet massing just outside Emeralsee Harbor.
King Damien will find himself in the magickal fight of his life as he struggles to protect his people...
