Marilia, The Warlord

Born the bastard daughter of a painted lady, Marilia was told she would live out her days within the walls of her mother's brothel, a companion for the rich men of Tyrace. But after a terrible betrayal, ten-year-old Marilia's world turns upside down. With the help of her twin brother, Annuweth, she flees the only home she's ever known in search of the one man who can offer her a chance at a better life: one of her deceased father's friends, the Emperor of Navessea's greatest general.

What follows is a journey spanning years. Along the way, Marilia discovers the gift she has for strategy and warfare.

When Navessea is threatened by a foreign invasion, the defense is left in the hands of an arrogant general no match for the empire's foes. With the fate of her new home and the woman she loves hanging in the balance, Marilia—now a young woman—swears to use all her courage and cunning to help repel the enemy.

The struggle that follows will test her to her core. Facing treachery within her own ranks as well as a devious enemy commander, Marilia will need all the help she can get, even if it means doing something her brother may never forgive—making a pact with the man who murdered her father.
