As a Holders daughter, Aspeth Honori knows the importance of magical artifacts... which is why its a disaster that her father has gambled all theirs away. Now that her family is in danger of losing their hold and their heads if anyone finds out the truth, Aspeth decides to do something about it. Shell join the Royal Artifactual Guild and the adventurers who explore ancient underground ruins to retrieve the coveted arcane items. Its a great plan with one big problem. The guild wont let her train because shes a woman. Aspeth needs a chaperone of some kind. The best way to get around this problem? Marry someone who will let her become an apprentice. Who better than a surly guild member who requires a favor of his own? Hes a minotaur (its fine) who is her teacher (also fine).. and hes about to go into rut (which is where it gets tricky). He also has no idea shes a noble (oops), and hell want nothing to do with her if he discovers her real identity. Now Aspeth just has to pass the guild tests, thwart a fortune hunter, and save her hold oh, and survive a rut with her monstrous, horned husband, whom she might be falling in love with. Its time to dig deep. Literally.
