The Peasant Queen

Nine years ago, Jane da'Smithy watched the Fae ride through her village and steal her friends in a day of horror known as the Harvest. The women chosen are never seen again, fated to wed with the Fae who dominate their human peasants and rule the world.

Now the Harvest has come again--and this time, the Fae claim only one captive. Her.

Ryn, Commander of the Harvest Guard, tells Jane she will wed Mazurian, the Immortal King of the Fae. But he can't seem to keep his hands to himself during the journey to the capital city of Nahireas, and as Jane learns more about the sensual and mysterious commander, she doesn't want him to try. Ryn tells her she is a mindspeaker like himself--a rare telepath, able to see into the hearts and minds of strangers. Every glimpse into his soul brings her one step closer to losing her heart, but even though she senses his feelings for her, Ryn is a man of honor. He has pledged to bring her to the King and even love cannot sway him to break his vow.

She was born a peasant, touched by magic, and destined to rule alongside the Immortal King. Can Jane find a way to break the bonds of Fate and stay with the soldier she loves?
