In The Cover Of Darkness - 9781776424108

Murdering a city guard is a treasonous act, punishable by death. And when Laurel Gunderson finds herself in that exact situation, she knows a quick death would be a mercy. For if the King of Axtria learned of the existence of a halfling-elf, there would be no telling what atrocity he might inflict upon her. One action, one job, throws Laurel's life into utter turmoil. The careful choices made throughout her life to remain a secret are at risk. There is only one option. Laurel and her closest confidant, Cole, choose to flee for their lives. But when the open road cannot offer Laurel and Cole the sanctuary they need, they're presented with an offer neither of them knew existed. A proposal from Laurel's ex-lover. A resistance is growing, gathering in the shadows across Axtria, working to undo the laws laid down. The aim is to return Axtria to a place of liberty. Something Laurel has dreamed of all her life. Taking a stand with those who oppose Eberlim, Laurel and Cole face their greatest challenges yet. Protecting those who cannot defend themselves. Risking it all for a chance of freedom. With her life on the line, can Laurel resist the man she's never stopped loving, to continue living a life of fear and secrets or will her heart win out? Without risk, there is no reward. Without the resistance, there is no future.
