Jiana Perfected, The Legends of Greenstone, Book 3

Besieged and harried on all sides by the Emperor and his malevolent mages, including Hemon, the most powerful mage in the past two centuries, Jiana must muster the Forces of Greenstone and master the mysteries of her own powers. While attempting to evade her uncles who are allied with the Emperor to overthrow her, she is found by a witch preceptor and begins to realize the full extent of her own powers. But will they be enough to save herself and her realm? Edon, a mercenary of towering build and reputation has thrown in with her forces, but their mutual attraction is a distraction to her purposes. Especially since she is restricted from marrying him due to their difference in station. Although her destiny and the destiny of her people would certainly be doomed without his aid, when he is seduced by her preceptor, how can she reconcile herself to his seeming infidelity? She must be strong enough to rule Saturia to survive, but can two headstrong individuals overcome their pride and the many forces against them to create a bond of love?
