The Forgotten Meadow

Synopsis

Thalia Roem Grta, an illegitimate princess in a rigid imperial court, survives a childhood of rejection by keeping everyone at a distance. Her defenses fail around Barkas Raedgo Sheerkan, a disciplined nobleman bound by family duty and a promise to the late empress. When Barkas marries Thalia's half-sister, Ayla, Thalia's hidden love collides with courtly obligation and deepening despair.
