Armor of Sorrow (The Griffonheart Saga)

No one in the quiet mountain town of Austernell knows that a legend walks among them, and Dara wants to keep it that way. But little does she know when she rides into town one fateful night that Austernell needs a hero, or it won’t survive another week.

A stunning starlet of the stage lies dead, murdered in her own home on the night of her theater debut, which reignites a blood feud between the rich and poor. Determined to save the town, Dara quickly discovers that the evil of Austernell isn’t a beast with fangs and claws. The evil is hatred, and it cannot be killed with a sword.

Covered in steel, she is armed with her sword, secrets, and sorrows too heavy for any human heart. Long ago, she gave up on her happy ending, but hidden in this town is someone who will give her everything she ever wanted, if only she has the courage to accept it.

If Dara is going to save the city, she will have to find friends, face her greatest fears, and reopen her deepest wounds. She has to show her face. She has to reveal her secrets. She has to show the world who she really is, because hidden inside her scuffed and weathered armor is the most beautiful creature the world has ever seen.
