Guardian's Pledge

Rowan and Cypress couldn't live two more different lives; he's the protector of the Crown Prince and she's a young miner, who arrived at the mine a year before, disguised as a boy and looking for work. And yet, despite the dissimilarity of their situations, their pasts are inextricably linked. When an attempt is made against the Throne, Rowan's boring life is suddenly thrown into chaos, at the same time that Cypress and her companions embark on a dangerous quest to save the life of an injured friend. Soon, they find themselves being drawn together by fate, to fight side by side in a deadly battle that will resolve a modern conflict, as well as an unsolved mystery from nearly a decade before.
