Rachel Rossano is a happily married mother of three children. She spends her days teaching, mothering, and keeping the chaos at bay. After the children are in bed, she immerses herself in the fantasy worlds of her books.
Tales of romance, adventure, and virtue set in a medieval fantasy world are her preference, but she also writes speculative fantasy and a bit of science fiction.

The royal wedding approaches and the country is alive with anticipation.
Among the craftsmen traveling to the capital is Constance Rendare and her family. An artist, a widow of an unhappy marriage, and the mother of a young son, she dreams of escaping the cruel servitude of her father’s household.
Wilard Naron serves the Earl of Dentin. He returns to the capital, his childhood home, to collect his earnings and finally free himself from his father’s reputation.
Kidnappings, bandits, and a plot against the king complicate the journey. The conflicts throw Constance and Wilard together as their circumstances grow steadily worse. The more the pair uncovers, the direr the future looks for the country and for them.

Character Casting
For my heroine, I only had one image in mind, and that was the one on the cover. Constance is an ethereal beauty with a heart as down to earth as one can get. Artist, mother, and hard working woman, she spends all of her time serving others. Despite her beauty, expect to find her hands calloused and skilled.
Wilard, my hero, resembles a younger Jude Law quite a bit. His hair is definitely curlier, more toffee colored, but the lean physique, and easy smile definitely fit Wilard’s laidback approach.
