Royal Artifactual Guild

Ruby Dixon

When Aspeth Honori’s family risks losing everything, she turns to the one path that might save them: joining the Royal Artifactual Guild and recovering powerful relics from ancient ruins. But the guild bars women from training, forcing Aspeth into a marriage of convenience with a gruff minotaur adventurer who can serve as both her chaperone and her teacher. As she faces dangerous trials, hidden identities, a ruthless fortune hunter, and the complications of her husband’s rut, Aspeth must prove herself while navigating an attraction that may be more genuine than either of them expected. Blending fantasy adventure, romance, humor, and themes of courage and self-determination, the novel delivers a lively new tale in Ruby Dixon’s beloved monster-romance style.
