The Giant’s Wife
Jacey, a bond servant in Ketekey, is freed during a Targoian raid and captured by them. While in camp, she catches the eye of the famous commander, Heddwyn Borut, who at first takes her as a slave. Just before she is to be sent back to Targo City to be sold, Commander Borut proposes to marry her and, for some crazy reason, she accepts this man.
Unbeknown to her at the time, Commander Borut only proposes because he desires to keep himself from a marriage with a lord’s daughter. Moreover, he carries a lot of pain and guilt with him that hasn’t left him for ten years. Outwardly levelheaded, inwardly he is constantly tormented by the past. A torment that he doubts will ever end.
I AM IN ABSOLUTE LOVE WITH THIS STORY!
AND IT RENDERS ME SPEECHLESS FOR COMPLIMENTS, BECAUSE NO WORDS WOULD BE ABLE TO DO JUSTICE TO YOUR INNOVATION, TO YOUR IMAGINATION AND TO YOUR WRITING SKILLS!
