My Review
This is the first young adult novel I've read by this author and I can see I've been missing out. Geared toward teens, as an adult I enjoyed it a lot myself and I also
enjoyed that it was a clean read. This novella sets up the backstory for her new, The Lost Princesses series, which I look forward to reading and continuing the adventure! Immaculate research from the author sets the story line in this medieval time line. A true adventure fraught with danger will be yours while reading this exciting book . Lady Felecia has been tasked by the dying queen to take her newborn twin princess daughters and three year old crown princess out of the castle to safety when an army invades. Sir Lance has also been tasked with taking taking protecting the youngsters. You will have an adventure as they are pursued through underground tunnels and caves. Can they make it to safety. As a knight of the king's elite guard, Lance took a vow to serve til dismissed or til death so how do his newly awakened feelings for Felecia factor in and because of class differences would she even be interested? Wow, what an exciting adventure and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Expected publication: August 13th 2019 by Northern Lights Press. I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own
GoodReads Summary
A fierce elite guard. A loyal lady in waiting. They must work together to save three princesses from certain death. On the verge of dying after giving birth to twins, the queen of Mercia pleads with Lady Felicia to save her infant daughters. With the castle overrun by King Ethelwulf’s invading army, Lady Felicia vows to do whatever she can to take the newborn princesses and their three-year old sister to safety, even though it means sacrificing everything she holds dear, possibly her own life. Gravely wounded in battle and knowing all is lost to his enemy, the king of Mercia tasks Lance, one of his fiercest elite guards, to protect his family along with keys to an ancient treasure. As Lance makes plans to sneak the princesses out of the capital city, he doesn’t need or want Lady Felicia’s help. With the dark enemy in pursuit, Lance and Felicia must put aside their differences to outrun King Ethelwulf and prevent him from killing the princesses. In a desperate attempt to hide the young girls, Lance and Felicia agree to a marriage of convenience, a decision that will change their lives—and hearts—forever.
