With the world in tatters and so many new dangers lurking around every corner, how will humans survive the aftermath?

An abused and incredibly intelligent young woman, Sylvia (aka Corban Sylvania), was abandoned by her parents at the age of sixteen. Technically homeless, she has learned to survive in the woods with the help of an older man, Holt French.Sylvia has no identifying records of any kind because she was not supposed to have been born in the first place. She mostly spends her time living the life of a reclusive mountain woman that can handle any situation on her own.Every year there are contests and competitions where Sylvia gets to show off her skills in a public display that proves her existence and allows her to be seen for the true hunter she is.Mr. French notices that she seems a bit restless and offers her a job that he can't really pay her for. He wants her to watch over the ranch and keep an eye on the wild boars he has been caring for nearly twelve years.Her loyalty to the man that has been the sole person that she spent any kind of time with kept her from denying him the offer he proposed.She participates in as many as she can to earn the money she needs to survive. She hunts deer for the pigs and humans that have no morals in between the contests. She leaves no evidence behind, and she displays most of them so that whoever finds them will know that they were killed for a legitimate reason. Some are more gruesome than others depending on the situation. The victims she doesn't leave on display, she feeds to the pigs.Sylvia neglects to mention that she has fallen in love with Claudia, and the two have spent more time together in her girlfriend's home than she has at the ranch, even though she is keeping up with her responsibilities, the contests, and of course the murders that haven't all been connected.Questions concerning ownership bring around new people who have no problem burning things down or taking a life for the worst possible reason: Greed.Will she be able to move forward with Claudia or will she be expected to stop killing for what she believes in?Can she battle her own inner demons, maintain her prideful way of being, and settle the score with those that would kill her simply for existing?Can she fight for those that she feels are being victimized and restore some sort of normalcy in her life, or will she die trying?

Medieval Ireland is the land of flourishing kingdoms. Nechtan O'Crist, the Royal Prince of Tyndall has endured pre-arranged marriages that have ended in disaster. Ana, his third wife was a conniving woman who convinced Nechtan that he was a curse. Unbeknownst to the rest of the kingdom, Nechtan and his new wife do not behave as a newlywed couple should. Their bond is formed in a deep, understanding friendship rather than intimacy. Onora O'Conni, the only child born to a peasant and a physician in Tyndall's surrounding communities has been considered a spinster for a long time. Her sharp mind and wit are only matched by the skills she had no choice but to learn. An expert in the exam room and in battle causes some to believe that she is a sorceress intent on putting a curse on the royal family. Princess Sara, Nechtan's new bride has seen the changes in her husband after Onora nursed her back to health.

With all of the obstacles in their way, it becomes all but impossible for the members of the royal family to find peace and love. Is there a way to heal the heartache or are they doomed to mourn for the love they were never meant to have?
