Nubian Sun: A Royal Wedding (In The Land Of Nubia Book 1)

He saw her for the first time while taking part in the coronation for
the warriors who had been selected to begin training for the Royal
Palace Guard. From that moment forth it made no difference that she
would have no inkling of his existence, nor that even a hint of interest
shown for Nubia's well protected Princess could bring his execution.
Devaleh Knaye was in love.

She had noted his interest
nonetheless, and after sensing his watchful scrutiny whenever she
happened into his sphere of attention, she decided to take matters into
her own hands. Their first meeting, to her surprise, lead to her first
kiss. The following year spent with him was pure joy.

When the
Great War begins, each promises that their love will hold in spite of
any circumstance...she even determines to tell her father the truth and
seek his approval.

Unfortunately the Fates have something
different in mind. The King is felled by an arrow and the infection
which follows. Devaleh meanwhile is captured and stolen away into
slavery. To cope with the utter heartbreak, she employs the use of her
innate Psi ability to close off the entire episode from her conscious
memory, and although this is for the better part effective, it as well
leaves her with a sense of longing which she is unable to account for.

Until he returns, ten years later...

Kusta
is no more pleased to see him than he was to stand aside as the two
fell in love the first time - and there is another who is even more
determined that Devaleh never be crowned King of Nubia. Yet Tyelah is
ever the less willing to be told what she is allowed to do, now that she
is Queen.
Oddly enough however, she finds that he is not quite the boy who went away so long ago...

Can she, Ruler of the most powerful kingdom in their hemisphere, bring herself to cede the 'place' he desires of a wife?

Will
his own inner turmoil over those years spent away prove too great a
challenge to the need to accept the place he must occupy as King?
