The Eldest Daughter's Path to Peace

Ladis Tillord was born the eldest daughter of a knightly house whose legendary name had long outlived its glory. Though her family had fallen into decline, she devoted herself to the blade, and it was her skill that reclaimed the honor they had lost, victory by hard-won victory. Yet none of those triumphs ever bore her name. Every feat of arms she accomplished was handed to her incompetent brother, dismissed as a necessary sacrifice for the family's sake. Only as death closed in did Ladis finally grasp the truth: the ties of blood she had clung to her entire life had never lifted her up—they had only ever weighed her down. Now granted a second chance at life, Ladis vows that neither lineage nor obligation will dictate her fate again. But after a lifetime spent living for everyone but herself, can she truly learn what it means to choose for her own sake? Her rebirth marks the beginning of a new journey—one in which she will, for the very first time, forge her own path to peace.
