Dainy doesn’t know that she is the lost Duchess of Jordinia,
believed to have been assassinated fifteen years ago. Nor does she know that
her uncle has implemented an illegal contest to seek her, offering her marriage
hand as the reward! Though at odds, three clashing rivals – including a noble
giant, a forest dweller and a thieving rake – voyage together by woodland,
prairie and sea to recover the lost royal, notwithstanding the assassins and
spies at their tail. Soon, young Dainy is swept into a comically complex
romantic quadrangle as each suitor competes to capture her heart. Charmingly
romantic and bursting with political intrigue, startling twists and vivid
characters, readers of romance and fantasy alike will adore this original yet
timeless tale of swashbuckling adventure and unlikely love.

Book 2:
DISCLAIMER: I received a copy of this book as part of this tour. This review shall remain as non-spoiler-y as possible. Also, a quick note, if you find the details of this book interesting, be sure to sign up for the author's newsletter. New subscribers a free copy of the book! FOLLOW THE REST OF THE TOUR!
This book is an adventure. For those of you who like a good twist in a historical fiction, this is definitely for you. If you're like me when you read, you will be hooked from the few several pages. The plot is enthralling, you fall in love with the characters and it leaves you wanting more. Exactly what a great book is supposed to do.
I have to say that I was a bit surprised at who Dainy ends up with in the end. But all things being considered, the author pulled of a good twist and I think if I were to go pick up the second book, it would make sense why this was done. The story itself is very enjoyable and I am pleasantly happy with it.
