A washer woman's daughter claims her place in the crown princess's army.
Young Ashlyn of Cairn doesn't dream of war. Her village sits at the farthest point from the battlefront. Thus, rumors of the crown princess's all-female army seldom reach her ears.
Ashlyn's fate has been set from birth. She will marry her third cousin Rupert and be a cobbler's wife. That's a vastly better situation than being a washer woman's daughter.
If only the taxes weren't due and Ashlyn's father hadn't gambled away her mother's meager earnings, then a humble girl might never have been set on the path to aid the return of the Modutan Empire.
