The Ruling Queen

Roxanna is the new young Queen of Oreias, a kingdom being invaded by its much stronger neighbor, the Kalarian Empire. In a last-ditch effort to save her realm, she flees her castle to join her army. On the way, she is stopped by a mysterious outlaw. He is a good military leader, and can bring the downcast Achlysians, Oreias's old allies, into the war. But he is unwilling to fight. If only she could convince him to help her, so she could save her nation.

Vasilis is the leader of the Lystra Gang, a group of Achlysians who make a point of stealing from the Kalarians, after Achlys fell years ago. Vasilis feels Oreias is a lost cause, and he is too careless to lead the forces that can liberate either his nation, or Roxanna's. But he soon develops feelings for her. If only he could learn to pay better attention.

Roxanna likes to be in control, but she can't direct Oreias's fate. Vasilis wants to help, but he knows detail isn't his strong point. Will they learn to trust God to take care of them and compensate for their shortcomings? Find out in The Ruling Queen!
