In England, the young knight Sir Gerard has a vision from God instructing him to help Elyce on her quest. When he arrives to find she has been near death for days, he manages to revive her. However, thinking the stranger was trying to kiss her, the princess immediately distrusts him. But her desperate situation forces her to accept his aid.

Pursued by her enemy's guards over mountainous terrain, they must also battle the deadly winter elements. Her greatest challenge may be to overcome the voices of disapproval and accusation from her childhood. Will her emotions lead her into her true identity, or will they undermine her ability to work with Gerard and to save her people, who desperately need her help?

Love all of her books

Can’t wait till a new series comes out! The reading is always exciting with never slow boring moments and not overly dramatic that it isn’t realistic. Jude Mason’s voice is one of my favorites.

Thrilling, Relatable, Timeless Romance

The kind of adventure you crave! An independent, courageous and oh so relatable princess, a fiercely brave yet caring knight, and an impossible quest that forces them to trust each other and most importantly trust God. Not to mention a timeless romance! I love how Melanie Dickerson takes the classic fairy tales you grew up on and spins them in new and exciting ways that have you on the edge of your seat chapter after chapter, and this one did not disappoint! It’s so good, and so worth it!!! Highly Recommend!

Adventure, faith filled romance

Highly recommend this clean romance filled with adventure and history and faith. Clean and great characters!

Very good story

Why do we doubt ourselves so much? Love is so hard to expose. Story line was creative and interesting. Challenging time for Women, being seen as a possession rather than a person of independence.

The storyline was amazing

I love how it included so many different genres like love, adventure, and a little bit of mystery. The author's voice is so soothing and is perfect for this book! Overall I give this book a 10/10 and would definitely recommend!
