A Noble Loyalty (Cornerstone Series, #11): A Wounded Lion Retelling

She's biding her time.
He's looking for answers.

Everyone is hiding something—it doesn't matter who they are.

For as long as she can remember, Bellinda “Bee” Durand has lived behind a mask of smiles and been weighed down by other people’s expectations. As her father's snoop, Bee is given more freedom with travels and experiences among the gentry of the country than she has ever known in the past.
Yet this isn’t what she wants anymore, especially as she learns more about the man and his family who are her most recent assignment. They are so unlike the hard-edged people she’s known since her mother died that Bee begins to wonder if the cynicism her father has fostered in her is worth holding on to.

Elias Reyes is a Knight of the Educacias, the country of Ventosis’ center of knowledge and civil services. His family is not immune to hardships—the ups and downs of building a business, his brother’s disappearance, and a mysterious sickness that has swept through the land also afflicting his sister—but if that’s not enough, the producers that the Reyes shipping company deal with are targeted by unknown scoundrels.
Pressured by his duty to uphold justice and needing answers, Elias strives to connect the dots.

After a chance meeting with a young lady and new friends, secrets come to light that change everything.

Will the truth really set them free or tear them apart?

A Noble Loyalty is a NA Christian Fantasy Wounded Lion retelling.
