Lena was a simple farm girl, but there was something that made her different, special. Not that she thought so, neither did most of those that knew what afflicted her. She was a hermaphrodite, possessing characteristics of both men and women, something that brought her family much scorn and derision from those that lived around them.
One day, a noblewoman comes to their house with an offer for her. Do what the woman wanted from her, and she would reward her and her family, give them the life Lena always wanted to give them but couldn't. It was an offer too good to refuse, and she knew there was more to the story, but she was willing to take the risk.
She couldn't imagine she would end up committing treason against the king.
