    To Protect a Princess - Debbie Mumford

    Chapter

    1

    Kaitlyn reveled in the fine spring day. Sunlight fell softly through the canopy of the old growth forest, illumining individual leaves with an otherworldly glow and dappling the soft soil of the trail their horses trod. Hoofbeats were muffled by dirt and duff, allowing distant birdsong and the scurrying of small animals to be heard. She breathed deeply, savoring the smell of growing things: shade-loving flowers, wild herbs, and the fresh young leaves of deciduous trees.

With the possible exception of Kaitlyn herself.

    As King’s Wizard, Kaitlyn had access to the best of everything Breoria, King Lorien’s realm, could provide. The heroine of the Wizard Wars and savior of her people, Kaitlyn was both honored and feared. Known throughout the kingdom as the Solitary Sorceress, Kaitlyn’s fame isolated her from all but a few close companions, and the Firestone held her apart from even
