The second novel in the Artesans of Albia trilogy is King's Champion. Here is the back cover copy:

After surviving brutal torture and escaping from Lord Rykan's dungeons, Major Sullyan is trapped in Andaryon, too injured to cross the Veils. Slowly dying yet determined to find some purpose in the shattered remains of her life, she travels to the Andaryan capital to offer the Hierarch her sword and Artesan gifts in the fight against Rykan and his army. Because women hold no power in Andaryon, Sullyan is met with prejudice, hostility, and suspicion.

Before she can seek vengeance on the field of battle, she must prove herself to the Hierarch's generals. Finding support from the unlikeliest sources, Sullyan formulates a plan to defeat Rykan and end his bid for the throne. The fate of two realms depends on her success, but her strength is fading fast and time is running out.
