Author Note
This story will probably appeal most to readers who've enjoyed my Ascension Trilogy. It's been a long time since I got to write about fictional European kingdoms, and I had forgotten how much fun it is!
In this story, I crystallized various cultures of northern Europe into Rydalburg, and southern ones into Saardova. The fierce Rydalburg warrior folk of the mountains are a blend of Vikings, Russians, Austrians, and Germans, while the sultry Saardovans were inspired by the Italian, Spanish, and Moorish cultures, with a little of the South of France thrown in for good measure. What fun!
I hope you enjoy it. I think you'll find it intriguing - and romantic! - to see what happens when "north" and "south" meet, their biases about each other clash, and long-nursed mistrust must be overcome. At core, this is a heart-of-the-genre style romance about two very different people from different backgrounds discovering mutual understanding, trust - and true love.
Best wishes,
Gaelen
