THE DAWN AND THE LION
Chandica Aurora, crown princess of Shardonia, finds herself not only married to a stranger, King August Leo, heir to the imperial throne of Patria, but finds herself with the new name of Canda and mired in the ongoing politics of her new planet. Raised on Shardonia in a culture that values balance between the genders and their roles in Justice and Mercy, she finds herself in an alien culture that has definite and separate roles for both men and women. Men dispense hard Justice and women soften life with Mercy. Will her new husband help her adjust and find a place on Patria that uses all her talents, or will he restrict her life to the limited roles of wife and mother? The Dawn and the Lion is the first book in a trilogy set among the overlapping and often contradictory feudal system that encompasses three worlds—Patria, Shardonia, and Autum.
