The whole idea of a Butterfly Knight seemed very intriguing, and then when I started to read, the story is told in first person by a female knight, which made it even more interesting. However, as the story begins, the barbarians have arrived and they are in the knight Faelwen's land out of the pure need of their leader to kiss the female knight, who is Faelwen herself.  She is very beautiful, but less interested in beauty and more interested in saving her queen and her people by being a good warrior.The court magician told Faelwen that her great beauty would shape her destiny.  A spell was cast upon her and this will be either her saving grace or the end of her.  What the magician knew and what he owns is something entirely shocking to Faelwen when she finds the dwelling place of the magician and tries to save the life of her Teddy Bear Queen, who now sits on her throne with a headless Teddy Bear.The Butterfly Knight is a short story that I really like.  As I read I thought that it could easily be developed in more depth and detail, but it is the prequel to the author's novel, The Doll Queen.  I haven't read the novel, but I expect that the information in this story is just enough to bring the reader up to date on what he/she needs to know before reading The Doll Queen.  I enjoyed this story very much.  The Butterfly Knight is a creative concept for the story. Very fast and fun read!
