She is also fiercely loyal to her family and friends, and will do whatever it takes to protect them. Tristan, on the other hand, is a man who is used to getting his own way. He is handsome, charming, and used to women falling at his feet. However, when he meets Honoria, he finds himself drawn to her in a way he cannot explain.
