By Vengeance Guided (The Lost Shrines #1)

Unexpected Responsibility
Lia never wanted to lead, but her sister’s untimely death forced her to assume responsibility of their tiny valley kingdom. In a region balanced on a political knife edge, one wrong move will plunge the surrounding realms into war. Until her niece comes of age, the safety and prosperity of the Dale are Lia’s burden to bear.

The last thing she needs is a charming stranger in her life, blundering around, uprooting secrets better left buried, and making her long for things she can’t have.

Unsated Vengeance
Caerwyn, Lord of Alwyn, is obsessed with avenging the murder of his parents. Unfortunately, without proof, the Council refuses to let him start a war by going after the sorcerer he believes responsible.

His clandestine quest for vengeance leads him to the Dale, where secrets and unknown magic hide under the surface of the quiet farming community. He knows there is more to Lia than meets the eye but his heart refuses to believe she’s in league with dark magic.

Uneasy Alliance
One night in an ancient stone Circle leaves Caerwyn and Lia bound together by magic and the will of the Goddess. The new connection, though, may not be enough to help when dark sorcery endangers Lia’s niece and threatens to spread evil through the Dale and beyond.
