Now, at nineteen, it's time for her to choose her own career and she's chosen to be a warrior. Unfortunately, for her, that's an impossible dream for a woman of AEssyria . Colonel Caraculla is a Razorback AEssyrian and the general's right hand man. He served under Gavin for a very long time and the two are as close as brothers. But Gypsy is about to storm into his life and steal his heart away. His love for her will not only strain his friendship with Gavin, it will cost him everything.
