She loves her kingdom...and the foreign usurper they hate.
If you enjoy a story where wit and hope confront lies and hate, come and explore this fantastical world with medieval undertones and conflicted cultures..
A Castle Contended is the second Novel in the Castle in the Wilde trilogy.
What is worse? Starving or becoming a vixicat\'s meal? How can Beth forge her newfound scrap of authority into a tool that is both subtle and powerful enough to return justice to her land? Especially when succeeding could turn the foreigner she loves into an enemy.
If he conquers them, he invites a siege to his castle.
The only thing he can do, must do, is kill the enormous vixicats that terrorize the Wilde-beasts that have proven invincible for over a century.
As for loving a despicable foreigner-intolerable! Tristan would do anything to help Beth, but his foreign hands are tied.
The cry of Beth\'s heart is the last thing anyone cares about.
The governing assembly is being manipulated.
Atrocities in Tower Woods come to light.
A duchess mysteriously dies.
Before she can even try, unraveling deceptions rock her land.
Now all she needs to do is convince an entire kingdom to respect the people they hate.
Which might be more of a restraint than the proposed marriage she is evading.
It also carries authority-and the obligation to use it wisely.
Nor is her noble role just a burdensome restraint.
The despised foreigners are not what she believed.
How can she choose between them? Beth finally understands.
She loves her kingdom...and the foreign usurper they hate
