1 Nourishing vipers

After killing her parents, Katherines' cousin sends her to an earl of the enemy nation for marriage. Of course, she doesn't want to be a plaything - neither of the earl nor her murderous cousin - but what can she do being a seventeen-year-old girl in a men-controlled country? Having healing as her magic, while all other have some awesome attacking skills? Katherine vows to get her revenge anyway, and the first hurdle to a self-determined life is to seduce the earl to get his resources and connections. It couldn't be that hard, right? Just that after arriving in the earls' territory he tells her that he doesn't even want to marry her?! No, no, that can't be! She needs to make him change his mind!
