Book I of the Hidden Hearts Series --- In the city of Sainthollow, ruled with an iron fist by Lord Eins, fear and loyalty are his greatest weapons. His son, Lord Wels, stands in stark contrast, kind hearted, compassionate, and beloved by the people. Yet one servant, Anwen, finds herself ensnared in Lord Eins' relentless wrath. Targeted and punished for reasons she can't fathom, she endures a torment that lays bare the true cruelty of his rule. As summer's warmth settles over Sainthollow, Wels begins to notice the quiet strength and resilience that define Anwen. Her endurance sparks something within him, a need to protect her, to become her secret guardian, offering fleeting moments of mercy amidst his father's cruelty. With each stolen glance and whispered word, his feelings deepen, forcing him to confront the growing conflict between his duty to his bloodline and his urge to defy his father's oppressive reign. In a world where even the simplest kindness invites suspicion, Wels is willing to risk everything to shield Anwen from the man who should have kept her safe. As tensions mount and forbidden love blooms like summer's wildflowers, both must decide how far they are willing to go, for freedom and for each other. --- Started: October 15, 2024 Status: Ongoing --- #1 in tyranny (2/5/2025) #1 in medieval fiction (28/3/2025) #1 in family duty (2/4/2025) --- This story is intended for mature audiences aged 18 and older.
