The Rose of Shanhasson

Shannari is destined to unite the Green Lands and wear the Rose Crown, though she doesn't yet know how. She's the avatar of the Goddess, but she's only ever been betrayed in love. She's beset on all sides by enemies. When she prays to the Goddess for Guidance, she doesn't expect her answer to come in the guise of a barbarian warrior who demands her hand.
