She Who Claims the Throne

Keira Falcon wanted to stay Tyler Harold's wife. She was the divine ruler's daughter in Saytown, and before the marriage she had been betrayed and left badly hurt, and Tyler was the poor man who took her in. She married him to pay that back, had a daughter with him, Norah, and put backing behind him without telling him it was hers. Tyler took up with Callie Zouch, whose family had money. His mother humiliated Keira in front of the household. Keira took Norah and left, and the marriage ended. What came after it was a fight over the borderland. Her identity came out at the Dragon Gate Banquet, both that she was of the divine ruler's line and that she was promised to another house, and the families that had been circling moved on her at once. Tyler's side joined them. Keira had allies of her own and went after the man who had betrayed her.
