Captive Hope
Description
Lady Idra, reserved as she is, cannot seem to adjust to life at High Castle where making friends among the courtiers proves nearly impossible, and she longs for the familiarity of Taisce. The only bright spot is the kindhearted and chivalrous Sir Ahmad, the high prince's most trusted guardsmen. Yet, just as she begins to untangle the complexities of growing feelings for him, the past resurfaces, ushering in a mercenary's revenge. And when Idra waltzes into his trap, not even a knight like Sir Ahmad will be able stop him.
Driven by desperation and a love that defies the stormy seas, Ahmad plunges into a wild race against all odds to rescue Idra from her captors. While on the high seas, Idra encounters an enigmatic pirate whose soul craves redemption. As they forge an unlikely bond born of desperation and hope, the pirate battles his sense of unworthiness and an unattainable desire for Idra, blurring the lines of loyalty and the self-preservation that have kept him alive.
In a tale woven of revenge, danger, and unspoken vows, each must discover their limits and where their true hope lies. Will Ahmad's unyielding determination, a pirate's desperate bid for absolution, and the hope Idra carries for them all be enough to secure freedom, or will a mercenary's blinding lust for retribution destroy them all?
