What if getting kidnapped was the best thing that could ever happen to you?The king went into hiding years ago. The kingdom is weak and at the mercy of raiders. Faith is used as a weapon against the weak and outcast. What could one young woman do that would make any difference?Esmeralda is alone in the world.

But could that be an end worse than death?Tiobald is last to make the selection in the Great Choosing. His put it off as long as he can, but as he walks the line of simpering quaking girls and women, one looks boldly at him. Her jewel-toned green eyes hold his gaze unwavering-daring him to choose her. When she accepts Tiobald's request to leave with him there is no tremor in her simple yes.With that one word Esmeralda has sealed her fate, set the destiny of his village, and changed the course of the entire kingdom.
