Rachel Rossano is a happily married mother of three children. She spends her days teaching, mothering, and keeping the chaos at bay. After the children are in bed, she immerses herself in the fantasy worlds of her books.
Tales of romance, adventure, and virtue set in a medieval fantasy world are her preference, but she also writes speculative fantasy and a bit of science fiction.

The royal wedding approaches and the country is alive with anticipation.
Among the craftsmen traveling to the capital is Constance Rendare and her family. An artist, a widow of an unhappy marriage, and the mother of a young son, she dreams of escaping the cruel servitude of her father’s household.
Wilard Naron serves the Earl of Dentin. He returns to the capital, his childhood home, to collect his earnings and finally free himself from his father’s reputation.
Kidnappings, bandits, and a plot against the king complicate the journey. The conflicts throw Constance and Wilard together as their circumstances grow steadily worse. The more the pair uncovers, the direr the future looks for the country and for them.

Constance
“He
stole my shoe.” I glared at the thief’s back as he perched on the
open end of the wagon bed. Crates and barrels blocked my view of what
he was doing, but I was reasonably confident it would result in sore
feet for me. The
thought of needing to walk all the remaining miles to Caraway on
unshod feet made my already battered limbs ache all the more. “Surely,
he didn’t.” My companion shook his head leisurely. “Master
Wilard is not a thief.” “He
is a jokester, then, or worse, a trickster. I can conceive of no
other possible purpose he might have for taking my only functional
shoe.” “Perhaps
he seeks to ensure you don’t scamper down and attempt walking.” “I
agreed to ride. My word should be enough. Or is your master one of
those men who never trusts the word of a woman?”
“There
are such men?” I
met Hugh’s gaze. I could not find deception in his honest, bland
features. Not even a hint of humor glinted in his eyes. He only
regarded me with questioning concern that such creatures existed. “There
are. I was married to one.” “Married
no longer, though?” “No.”
The usual bittersweet sensation flooded me at the memory of my late
husband. “So
the lad is your son?” He glanced at me once again before refocusing
on the road ahead. “Owen?
Yes, he is my son.” “I
only wondered. He doesn’t strongly resemble either you or your
sister, except for the hair color.” “He
takes after his father in features and me in temperament, if my
father is to be trusted.” I tried to suppress the impulse to frown.
Father had been bemoaning that truth at least thrice a day for the
past two weeks. “Then
he must be hardworking, reliable, and determined.” I
laughed. Those were not the attributes I would use to describe my
son.
