Part 1

To ensure his enemy cannot use the peaceful province of Leonado against him, Cadel must occupy it himself and proclaim himself King. However, he is soon persuaded that rather than ruling as a hostile warrior he would be best served by marrying the beauty who currently rules - Tialla. However, Tialla, is not so keen. But backed into a corner she has little choice, though she is determined never to fully give into the brute who attacked her province. But is Cadel such a brute?

Will Cadel and Tialla learn to love, and if so will the warring Garok find a way to destroy them both.
