Lady Hotspur

**STRIKE FAST, LOVE HARD, LIVE FOREVER** This is the motto of Aremoria's Lady Knights--sworn to protect the kingdom, the crown, and each other, in that order. But after a bloody rebellion and regicide, two young knights and childhood friends--deposed heir Banna Mora and reluctant new prince Hal--must make impossible choices between family and friendship, king and kingdom. And between these two fierce princes is the knight who will decide all their fates: the Lady Hotspur, Isarna Persy, whose passion and support will turn the tides of the coming war--or bring the kingdom to its ruin. The future of Aremoria rests squarely on their young shoulders. One will turn to allies from afar. One will turn to ghosts of the past. And one will turn to blood. This description comes from the publisher. It is the second book of the Innis Lear series, the first of which is *The Queens of Innis Lear*.
