Publisher's Synopsis
When dreams and freedom collide...
An impetuous warrior. A troubled girl. A daring plan that could save or destroy them both.
Jardin the Freeslave hates his lack of status. Proving his sword skills by winning the Battle of Champions may have boosted his pride, but he'll never be a citizen if he reveals his illegal magical abilities. And now he's dug himself into a royally huge hole by intercepting a harsh slap to a princess's face from the king.
Princess Eracaula believes she's worthless. Desperate to escape her abusive family, she clings to her dreams to one day live without feeling like a constant disappointment. So when a courageous swordsman stands up to her father and protects her, she sees a chance for a better future.
Enacting a bold scheme to spirit the unhappy young woman out of the city, Jardin hopes his own exile will end the backlash endangering the rest of his kind. And though their ship takes them to a faraway land to settle into a new life, Eracaula fears sooner or later the hunters will find them.
Pursued by their pasts and hiding forbidden powers, can the fugitive pair ever achieve the liberty they seek?
Path of Freedom is the powerful first novel in the Sisterworlds epic fantasy series. If you like complex characters, well-crafted settings, and heroic acts, then you'll love Kenneth A Smith's adventure-packed quest.
