Through a twist of fate, Princess Gabrielle became First Knight of the King’s Elite Guard, a position always held by the second born male. She's spent years proving to the Minsters of Faldaera she is capable of leading the king’s Army.
When mythical creatures plague her kingdom, Rielle is sent
to capture Captain Brody, the alleged culprit behind the attacks and the man
who broke her heart four years ago.
Brody, Crown Prince of Delphine, is living in self-imposed
exile, atoning for the sins of his father. But Fate has different plans for
him. Tired, beaten down, and ready to give up on life, he is tossed into the
path of the one person he would do anything for―Princess Gabrielle.
With a traitor in her ranks,
and a mark on her head, Brody joins forces with Rielle, hoping to keep the
woman he loves safe. Happily-ever-after is not guaranteed, and mythical
creatures aren’t the only danger the couple face. As battles rage, Rielle has
the chance to prove herself a capable leader, but will doing so cost her the love
of her life?

Here are a few personal thoughts from Mary:
On Writing:
Favorite thing about writing a first draft: Meeting and
learning about my characters.
Best thing about writing for kids and/or teens: Reliving
lots of firsts.
Favorite word: Seriously?
One word that describes your path to publication: educational
If I could have two dream careers, I’d be an author and a: mom
(which I am!)
On Life:
If I could snap my fingers and solve one of the problems
here on earth, it would be: How we treat each other. If we all lived by the
Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have them do to you) I think we'd all
get along a bit better. :-)
One question I wish I had a definitive answer to: Is
there life after death. I think so, but it would be nice to know for sure.
Best thing about being a child: Very little
responsibility
Worst thing about being a child: Not realizing how good
you've got it.
Best thing about being a teenager: Time spent with
friends.
Worst thing about being a teenager: Being stuck between
being a kid and an adult. You're too old for things, yet not old enough for
others.
Most memorable teen moment: My first kiss.
One thing I’d like to say to my teen self: It's okay to not know the answers about
what you want to be when you get older. No matter what you choose, you can
always decide a different path later.
A quote I live by: Do unto others... I'm not always
successful with it, but I do try.
My dream vacation: Camping
with my family and friends. Doesn't matter where, as long as we're together.
In My Perfect World…
Everyone would get chocolate and ice
cream at least once a week.
There would be an abundance of sunshine and happiness.
No one would be deprived of love.
Every child would have a happy childhood.
No one would ever be mean.
Hugs would be free for everyone.
