Lips on the Edge of the Sword. Volume 1

Arni Brillit is the captain of the order of the "Golden Dragons" and one of the few master swordswomen on the entire continent. But her reputation as a fearsome warrior scares off suitors: finding a man willing to tie his life to the legendary "mad dog of the Western Empire" is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, when Duke Cassian Ternusen from the North asks for Arni's hand in marriage, her mother gladly agrees—hiding from him who the bride really is. Believing that this marriage is doomed, Arni only dreams of a swift divorce… until she discovers that the life of a wife isn't so bad, especially when her husband protects her like fragile porcelain. But will Arni be able to maintain the marriage without revealing that beneath the mask of a quiet lady lies the most dangerous warrior on the continent?
