[BLOOD FOR NOATRA; BOOK 1]

Vera Carmicheal is not supposed to be the thieving murderer that Noatra fears. She knows the stories that her mother fed her, she knows she's supposed to be the hero and the saviour of the kingdom from the threats of the king in charge. She knows all that, she didn't need reminding.

Vera Carmicheal is supposed to be a queen, but that's not what she wants.

Of course, the fates say otherwise.
