Le plus cher Defender of Crowns (Kingdom of Walls) by Tanya Bird NEUF

Fighter. Misfit. Heart thief.

How long can Chadoras throne sit empty? That is the question on everyones mind as they wait for the rightful heir to return for his crown. Patience is not Edas strong suit, and she has an idea to speed things along that just might work. The youngest Suttone has found her voice, and now she is determined to be heard. If they will not listen to her words, then she will speak with her sword. It is time to step outside the walls. But first she must get past the only man brave enough to stand in her way.

Roul Thornton has a five-year plan and too many secrets. As he guards those within Chadoras walls, he is acutely aware that the people who need his protection most exist outside of them. At least, that was true right up until he met the youngest Suttone sister. She needs protecting from herself. Eda is fire and heart and wit and trouble-and the biggest threat to his plan. He is about to follow her down a dangerous path. With his loyalties already divided, Roul must ensure his heart remains wholly intact.

This is the third book in the medieval dystopian series Kingdom of Walls. If you enjoy heart-racing action, witty dialogue, and a fierce heroine, then this high-drama love story is for you.
