Book 1 in the Valiant Hearts series.
Alone among a sea of bodies, Jia-Nian sets a funeral pyre, chanting over her dead brother. Bone-weary after suffering days of carnage, the last surviving Strathulian has been cruelly robbed of her people, her hopes, her dreams…her virginity.
When Aydon the Bold, Guardian of Zalvanus, spies a bloodied, mud-caked, half-naked woman at a clearing, the mournful wailings of the grieving female touch long-forgotten remnants of his battle-scarred heart. In an instant their destinies collide as Aydon saves Jia-Nian from certain death, unwittingly setting an ancient prophecy in motion.
Healing begins. Trust is built. Lust seizes. Passion ignites. While Jia-Nian, her handsome rescuer and his closest friend combat evil foes by day, their nights are spent sharing the exquisite joys of triad sex. The intense, passion-charged encounters nurture what becomes a soul-deep love so unparalleled, it is destined to change the fate of the world.
