Wildfire Heart

Set against the devastation of a failed revolution that all but destroys the nation of Fredonia during the time between the World Wars, Prince William loses his young love, Lady Willow and learns to live his life as a farmer.
He is only sixteen when he is injured attempting to protect Willow on that first terrible day of the revolution. He believes she was killed. She believes he has died. He survives, but his memory abandons him. The injured and starving boy is rescued by a farmer, Langley Fairtree and his family. Not knowing his name, they decide to call him Billy.
Kidnapped by Jastrin Montoni, Willow is forced to live at the mercy of her malicious guardian. Montoni convinces her she is a penniless orphan who survives only because of his mercy.
Four years later, King Julius Henry returns from exile. Determined to rebuild his country’s reputation, he reestablishes the Royal Poetry Society competition. The three evil royal princes, Cecil, Konrad and Leopold conspire to assassinate the king.
Montoni intends to force Willow to marry Prince Cecil so they can gain the fortune she does not know is hers. She is held captive in an attic room. Believing she will die there, she slips her poems through a broken window to let the world know that she has lived.
True love has a way of intervening. Having accepted a position as gardener at Prince Cecil’s country house, Billy finds Willows poems. Touched by their beauty, he enters them in the Royal Poetry Society competition.
Billy recovers his memory. The assassin’s plot is foiled. Willow’s poems win the competiton. The evil princes go to prison. The malicious guardian is run through by an ancient swordsman. The king knights Langley Fairtree. Willow and Billy, now recognized as Prince William and Lady Willow are married in a royal wedding in the Cathedral of Fredonia to the cheers of the population and the explosions of royal fireworks.
