The Wisdom of Fools Genevieve St-yves

He can protect her from the outlaws that lurk along the roads. But can he save her from the darkness in her heart?

Her search for lost spells takes Johenna far from home. But the haughty scholar of magic knows little of the world beyond her libraries filled with ancient scrolls and yellowed books-or its dangers. When bandits corner her on a lonely stretch of road, all hope seems lost until an ogre warrior comes to her rescue.

As brave as he is reckless, Vyke tracks down criminals who prey on the weak by command of the Ogre King. Unable to turn away from a woman in need, he vows to stay by her side until she reaches her destination. Johenna takes her unwanted protector as a fool until his kindness sways her cynical heart.

But brigands and thieves aren't the only thing threatening Johenna. A shadowy figure holds sway over her with dark magic, intent on using her as a pawn in a larger game. Only her wise fool's unshakable loyalty can keep her from being destroyed by wicked forces beyond her understanding.
