The Girl Behind the Iron Gate

Greta has no magic, no grand ambitions, and no desire for anything beyond a quiet life with her family and the younger sister she'd do anything to protect.

But when tragedy strikes, she is torn from everything she knows and forced into the hands of the ruthless ruling class. Conscripted into the military while her sister is held captive, she stakes her future on a series of dangerous trials, where victory promises freedom, but defeat means facing down an army-or death.

As the trials push her beyond her limits, long-buried secrets begin to surface, threatening to unravel everything she thought she knew about herself, her family, and the world around her. And with strange feelings stirring within her and the growing attention of a handsome officer, her already complicated circumstances only grow more perilous.

​​​​​​​With her sister's life on the line, Greta must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice. For some gates, once opened, can never be closed again.

For readers who enjoy deadly trials, he trains her, forced proximity, reluctant allies to lovers, sarcastic banter, and an unforgettable mentor.
