Tales of Noon - Baroness Velsina

A lady seeking the indipendence of her fief.
A warlord wishing for his own castle.
A king needing a heir.

1219 Anno Noctis Splendentis

While the lords wait to feed their daughters and nieces to King Saril, Baroness Velsina Carmillana looks for a good husband for her stepsister while finding the way to save her fief from a greedy viscount. Her plan is very simple: to marry a man who complements her abilities and with a military force strong enough to ensure Volshi's indipendence.
The chosen one is Elgen Arnot, half-brother to the new Duke of Grievied and Commander of the Chaldean Falcons, the most renowed mercenary company in Vernolia. And when King Saril shows interest in Velsina's stepsister, it looks like it's only a matter of time before Volshi's safety and indipendence are assured.

However, even the most carefully crafted plan can go wrong...
