Don't Forget to Dream

Alone in the Royal city of Lestran, in the medieval kingdom of Calvadia, Rhyla is forced to seek employment as a serving girl in an Inn. It is a clean respectable Inn, close to the Royal Palace, the tables filled each day and night by the wealthy young men of the court and the Royal guardsmen, a place she believed she was safe. She had travelled to Lestran after her father’s brutal murder and the destruction of their farmstead home left her with no one to turn to, and no one to guide her. Her naivety and misguided trust soon leaves her in a dangerous predicament. She escapes an immediate threat to her virtue thanks to the blade of a handsome young man she knows nothing of, but desperately wishes to see again.

Rhyla has always kept her dreams simple, a husband and children to love, a country home and books to read. But now she must forget those dreams, abandon them as reality forces her to find a new life, a life with new paths she never knew existed. What will this new life bring to her? Will this handsome stranger help her rediscover her dreams? Will she find new dreams she had never before imagined or will fates cruel hand deny her once again?
