While born into royalty, she has spent her entire life rejecting nearly every expectation placed upon royal women. She was never interested in embroidery, courtship, etiquette lessons, or noble gossip. While other royal daughters were being taught how to become wives, Valen was sneaking into training yards, learning swordsmanship from soldiers, and studying military strategy far beyond her years.
Now, at twenty -six, she commands thousands of soldiers and has become one of the most celebrated generals in the kingdom's history.
To the people, she is a war hero.
To the nobility, she is a headache.
To the soldiers who serve under her, she is fiercely respected.
And to her brother, she is both his greatest ally and his greatest source of stress.
