Blurb
Princess Talia Navarette has spent years watching her father sign away other people’s lives.
When the war reaches the Citadel’s walls, she uses the siege as cover to slip out of the city in disguise, with a small escort and a plan nobody at court knows about. She gets as far as the mountain roads before a band of outlaws takes her convoy.
Angelo Martinez is one of those outlaws, a swordsman who would always rather talk than fight. His crew steal from the rich to keep the hill villages fed, and in four years he’s never had a reason to question them. He’s never had a prisoner like her either.
When the crew work out who she is, Angelo has to decide whose side he’s on, and he doesn’t have long to do it. What follows is a run across an island at war, with no money and nowhere safe to stop. She doesn’t trust a man who jokes about everything. He doesn’t trust anyone born in a palace. Neither of them expected that to be the easy part.
About the author
Rowan Ashling writes romantasy from Ireland. Before the books there were years of running D&D campaigns, which is where most of these stories started. Under the Red Moon is Rowan’s first novel.
