Bound by tradition. Now they must follow the rules.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOOLLAHRA DIGITAL LITERARY AWARDS 2017
Aldara is sixteen when she is sold to the obnoxious crown prince as a gift for his brother. Forced to leave the only life she has ever known, Aldara is sent to Archdale Castle, where she is mentored to become Prince Tyron's perfect Companion. But no amount of lessons can prepare her for the troubled man marked by war. He sees straight through the polished exterior presented to him. He sees her.
All Prince Tyron wants is privacy to grieve. When his brother gifts him a Companion upon his return, he is forced to embrace a tradition he has so far managed to avoid. Except Aldara is not like the others. She walks with her face to the sun and arms swinging. Her laughter makes him forget the lie. But if they ignore the rules that safeguard them, there will be consequences.
This is book one in The Companion series. If you enjoy dark medieval romance, then this epic tale of love against all odds is for you.
Trigger warning: This book contains sexual violence, death, and dark themes intended for mature audiences.
Please note: This is part one of Tyron and Aldara's story. Their story continues in books two and three—available now.

See AllLoved the whole non traditional story!!
Was a great read that didn't have a traditional time or type of story. If you are looking for something interesting and very well written give this a try. 👍👍👍 Can't wait for next installment!!

IT WAS AMAZING BUT I WISK IT HAD A LITTLE MORE ROMANCE TO IT AND MORE JOKING AND MESSING WITH EACH OTHER ❤️👌🏼👌🏼IT WAS WONDERFUL AND I APPRECIATE YOUR CREATIVITY
Angst, heartbreak, and life after.
I really enjoyed this book. I read it when it first was published and it was very moving. The ending left me wanting so much more of the story and I’m happy to see the series is greatly expanded now. Other reviews show it’s not everyone’s cup of tea; it deals with dark themes that, while fictional, are not uncommon in history, as well as in less elevated life circumstances today. If you like a book with angst, heartbreak, and moving forward after, this one is a good one.
