"Woman of the Stone"

What will it cost to keep her secret? Serious and haunted, Em protects orphans in her castle. Will the marauding, enemy clan who stole her virtue defeat her again? Or will the damage they've already done cause her death at the gallows for an atrocity she didn't commit? When she can no longer run in the dark, she must face her fear in the light of day. Farnsworth's themes gently address healing after a sexual assault. Book 2 is Monarch in the Flames. Book 3 in the Modutan Empire Series is coming soon in 2024.
