A Heroine of the World

The fortune teller spoke the words, showed Ara the cards that predicted how she would become the focal point of great events...But now, a defenceless captive of enemy invaders, Ara could only wait and hope to discover her true destiny. Yet in a world ruled by war, what chance did she have to attain her heart's desire? Far from home, and alone among strangers, only the will of the goddess Vulmardra could protect and guide her.

But the path the lady had started her on would lead Ara into the very heart of conflict. And though she might gain or lose great wealth, become pawn or key player in the power games of princes, there was only one for whom she would risk everything...He was a soldier that some named traitor and others liberator--and for him whe would strive to become a Heroine of the World.
