About the Book

During a time when legends were born . . .

ENAMORED

A princess in need of a husband, a young Sage who cannot have her, and a web of deceit that threatens their love.

Having been raised by her childless aunt and uncle, the king and queen, Princess Elinor finds herself the only heir to the throne of Norvegia. As she comes of age, she must choose a husband to rule beside her, but she struggles to make her selection from among a dozen noblemen during a weeklong courtship.

With aspirations to become the wisest man in the land, Maxim is summoned home by his father Rasmus, a Royal Sage. Reunited with Elinor, once his closest friend, Maxim is quickly enamored with her even though he can never be considered a prospect for her husband.

Elinor’s feelings for Maxim are rekindled too . . . until she learns he has been unwillingly drawn into Rasmus’s scheme to take control of the throne. With the kingdom under attack both from within and without, can Elinor and Maxim overcome the deceit spinning around them? Or will it destroy their love once and for all?

The real story of Excalibur. ​

Review

From the turn of the first page, readers will be sucked into Jody Hedlund’s action-packed, romance-filled, novel, Enamored.  This story is full of engaging characters, adventure, and swoony romance that readers will absolutely not want to put down.  A medieval retelling of the magnificent sword Excalaber, readers will be enthralled and charmed by this fabulous story.  Once again Hedlund has delivered a story that readers will get entirely caught up in, forgetting everything else around them.  An excellent addition to the world of young adult books.
