Duchess Rising

Women warriors, betrayal, and assassination sprinkled with a touch of lesbian romance.

This fantasy adventure has it all.

For years the Spirit Guides protected their apprentices. Not anymore. The tide of battle has turned.

But who is the enemy? The duchess has two choices-- protect the Spirit Child who fights the Tevaiedin or serve and protect her king.

Duchess Rising is the second book in a powerful and moving fantasy series by Alison Naomi Holt that will appeal to fans of Anne McCaffrey and Mercedes Lackey - one that blends the lyrical and mystical with pulse-pounding action.
