The Rebel Duchess - The Chronicles of Ilseador, #1

Genevieve Stellarine inherited not only her title and duchy from her father, but Duke Aldred's vision of living in a country not ruled by an Evil Wizard. And, somehow, after eighty-three years on the throne the Old King has died, leaving behind a power struggle between his former Apprentice and his grandson, King Damien... a young man whom Genevieve saw a single time when they were both children. As the leader of the Rebellion - the so-called Rebel Duchess - it is Genevieve's job to stay back and make sure that the new young King isn't following in his grandfather's vile footsteps before making any overtures of peace.
The smart thing to do is to watch and wait... But watching and waiting has never been Genevieve's strong suit, and with her dreams being haunted by a pair of beautiful grey eyes that she is sure belong to the young King... What else can a brave, redheaded warrior Duchess do than check out the situation for herself?
