Elizabeth of Rosepath: The Book of Roses, Volume One

Hearts are wayward things, and a feudal kingdom has little mercy for those who rise above their station. When the shadow of war leaves Elizabeth isolated and destitute, only the clothes on her back and her sharp mind stand between the servant girl and despair. Hunted by a vengeful knight, Elizabeth's future looks bleak until a chance meeting with a rebellious young nobleman changes the course of her life forever. - - - This is the tale of Elizabeth, servant of a noble family brought to ruin by a brutal coup; of Kaylein, last surviving daughter of the fallen household; of Isaac, son of the man who murdered Kaylein's parents, and of Edward, a troubled knight who seeks revenge on the others at any cost. After the events of that bloody night twist their fates together, each of the four seek their own path through the hardships of feudal life. Elizabeth's leads her to the workshop of a kindly carpenter, Kaylein's to a convent, Isaac's to the open road, and Edward's to an ambitious quest of advancement through the nobility. But how long can their peace last when each has demons that threaten to drag the others down along with them? Set in a fictional medieval kingdom, The Book of Roses tells the story of four young people searching for safety, love, and belonging in a world rife with injustice. Can a good heart still flourish in an age of darkness?
