And Linnet is about to discover that maybe a golden leopardess does not need to change her glorious spots. Much of the relationship development happens as Aimee has to grow up and discover her husband, not the hero of her imaginings.Our story opens in the make-believe medieval Kingdom of Karadok, with similar norms to medieval Europe. She was a strong character who went after what she wanted (in this case, marriage to Lord Kentigern), and she stuck with it even when things didn't turn out exactly like she thought they would.
