Trusia: A Princess of Krovitch

A resourceful young man recently freed from high-stakes struggles becomes entangled with a mysterious noblewoman whose collapse draws him into a remote castle and a web of suspicion and hostility. The plot follows clandestine rescues, sharp contests of wit, shifting alliances, and revelations about identity and rightful rule, as a steadfast companion and rival figures complicate efforts to protect the woman and resolve competing claims. Political intrigue, occasional violence, and developing romantic attachment converge in a series of reversals that lead to recognition, a settlement of power, and reunion of key characters.
