About the Book
Strong and adventurous Gwendolyn Barnes longs to be a knight like her chivalrous brothers. However, that is not an option for her, not even in the Arthurian-inspired Eden where she dwells. Her parents view her only as a marriage pawn, and her domineering father is determined to see her wed to a brutish man who will break her spirit.
When handsome, good-hearted Allen of Ellsworth arrives in Edendale searching for his place in the world, Gwendolyn spies in him the sort of fellow she could imagine marrying. Yet fate seems determined to keep them apart. Tournaments, intrigue, and battles--along with twists and turns aplenty--await these two as they struggle to find love, identity, and their true destinies. About the Author

Check out her novels Dance from Deep Within, Dance of the Dandelion, and Love in Three-Quarter Time, and look for her Valiant Hearts adventure/romance books, Dauntless and Chivalrous, with Bethany House Publishers
Author Interview with Dina L. SleimanReview
Dina L. Sleiman has once again written an exciting young adult novel. Full of adventure and unexpected romance, this novel will capture readers’ attention from page one. With excellently well-developed characters that readers will become attached to along with an engaging and thrilling storyline, readers will love this new installment of the Valiant Heart Series. Originally an adult writer, Dina adapted well to writing young adult fiction, crafting a story that readers will most thoroughly enjoy. I would recommend this novel to readers that adored book one in the series, Dauntless, as well as enjoy teen fiction with adventure and romance.

This looks like a great book to me. I like the time period it is set it and that a woman wants to be a knight like her brothers.

my daughter and I both read her first book and enjoyed it. We wondered how the other characters were doing and it looks like this is a fun series.

Well, I'm basically a sucker for clean romance novels. I've always imagined what it would be like to live in this time period, so reading about strong female figures always gives me a taste of what it would have been like.
