Medieval England
Many seek the power of the spear that stabbed Christ. Only one woman has vowed to protect it with her life
Alexia D’Clere didn’t ask to be Protector of the Spear, but after her dying mother gave her the spear tip and made her promise to keep it safe, she had no choice. Orphaned at age 9, she took over managing her parents’ castle with the help of a trusted steward. Yet, when a plot to murder her was revealed, a friar whisked her away to live hidden in the forest. There, she learned to shoot expertly with bow and arrow and hone her skills to see into the spirit realm.
Now, at 18, she continues to keep the spear protected, provide meat for the starving village, while secretly caring for her ill sister who still lives in the castle. With Alexia’s powers of spiritual discernment and her skill as an archer, she is no match for those who come for the spear. That is until she meets Ronar LePeine, one of the King’s Elite Guard.
Ronar desires nothing more than to do his duty for God and King and pay penance for his past sins. Yet a forest sprite with red, flaming hair blocks his every move, all the while enchanting him like no other. Something evil lurks at Castle Luxley, and both Ronar and Alexia are soon thrust into the middle of a spiritual battle which will not only test their very beliefs, but put them both in mortal danger.
