[Ingenairii 08] • Ajacii and Demons · the Ingenairii Series

Alec is in the Avonellene empire, a mountainous realm whose inhabitants are suspicious of foreigners, and his heavy accent, along with his ignorance of local customs, leaves him exposed as someone from the outside.

He has battled through constant conflict on behalf of Princess Esmere Caitlen Trelawney, deposed in a coup that swept her off the throne. Now she is back on the throne with a tenuous grasp on power thanks to Alec's extraordinary abilities, which have preserved her independence and exposed traitors within the ranks of her supporters.

Alec has done the unthinkable -- he has fallen in love with the princess. For his temerity, he is to be exiled away from her court, sent off to fight battles on her behalf far from the capitol, and he agrees to leave, knowing his presence is detrimental to the princess's chances to hold on to power.

He will fight for the princess against the forces of the Conglomerate, in the distant nordic town of Krimshelm, and he will think of Caitlen, and he will think about the past life whose memories he has lost.

A return to Caitlen beckons to him, but so does the opportunity to recover his lost memories, to learn more about the life he lived in the Dominion and Michian. He knows he once had high ranking in his own culture, but now he is drifting through this strange land, with gaps in his memory, and no way to explain why he lacks those memories, or why he has arrived in Avonellene at all.

Alec will face the challenges of his lost memories, his unacceptable love for Caitlen, and his status as an outsider in a hostile and fragile society while facing constant battles throughout "Ajacii and Demons" the sequel to "Rescuing the Captive."
