You never dreamed being the boss would be so hard. You're caught in a web of conflicting expectations from your subordinates, from those above you, and from your peers and customers. You're not alone. As Harvard Business School's Linda Hill and manager and executive Kent Lineback reveal in Being the Boss, becoming an effective manager is a painful, difficult journey.

Enemies from the start, fate has woven together the lives of Lady Snowlark and the Drameara, leading them on an unwilling journey that challenges their most basic beliefs. Lady Snowlark has one purpose in life: to do her duty and serve the throne.

Lady Snowlark is determined to do what she can to avert civil war in Valoria while at the same time, destroying the Ancient that threatens them all. When Prince Valiant suggests that they work together to achieve that goal, Lark agrees. But marrying the prince has set her squarely in the sights of an unstable king, and when new challenges arise, they come from within her own inner circle.

Lark believed escaping the Drameara’s clutches would end her nightmare, but nothing—not even his death—can break the hold he has on her. She knows she’ll never be free. He haunts her every move. But he’s not the only threat she must contend with…. Something darker lurks. It’s only a matter of time before Vengeance makes its presence known and claims her as its own. Nothing she says or does will prevent that from happening. Until then, she must gather her wits, summon her inner warrior, and prepare for battle.
