My Dance Becomes Swordplay, Book 2
The Warbound Knight
He won the right to carry a sword. Now he must decide whose orders it serves.
Aaron Vale has earned his knighthood. The empire’s reward is a place in its war against Roska.
Battle should be simple: obey the command, defeat the enemy, survive. Then Aaron sees what those commands cost the people caught between two armies. The rhythm that carried him through single combat must now hold against cavalry, shattered defenses, and men who cannot afford to fall back.
As his swordsmanship grows, so does the company gathering around him. Unlikely allies challenge everything he has been told about the enemy. Liora Arden, a mage with convictions of her own, becomes someone he can trust with more than his life.
But victory brings attention from commanders who value obedience above courage. To protect the people who follow him, Aaron will have to risk the very honor he fought to earn.
Book Two of My Dance Becomes Swordplay expands the battlefield with evolving martial magic, tactical clashes, unlikely alliances, and a romance forged under pressure. Read after The Disgraced Heir.
