I need to say thank you to the author for giving me a copy of this book for a review... First I was hesitant, b/c I thought it was going to be more of a "historical" type read... NOPE, it's set back in time but it doesn't have that type of feel. It has some excellent writing in it, and it had me cheering for Enith. I gotta say, this one has some fun little plotting in it, and wouldn't you know, it's kinda got a Cinderella feel to it... but with more mean bad guys and more travelling throught the woods hahahaha Enith tries to do the right thing by trying to help out the baron's daughter from a forced, not-wanted, arranged marriage to the Lord Acwellen (I've nick-named him "my welly" LOL). It's more of a fantasy fairy tale. There's sword fighting, and monsters, and bad rich people, and evil wizards, and good ones too, and HOT royalty :) It's a good read, really!!Enith has been used by her aunt and uncle in her father's blacksmith shop, but she loves her trade and takes great pleasure in being a blacksmith. She was only trying to help, but got herself wrangled into a marriage to the Lord Acwellen, and then off they set on an adventure back to his homeland. She is strong, and sweet, but independent without being unladylike. & she is a totally awesome sword maker & sword fighter :)Acwellen- yep, he's the hot royalty. He, in attempt to try to get out of a predicament & to please his people, marries Enith which causes total uproar from the bad guys! :) Even his guards question this, but he's "towns people" seem so thrilled that he married a "peasant". And he's trying to find out how all these "monsters" are getting in his land, and attacking his people. He's such a good guy :)Magic, and adventure, and sword fights... yep this one is a good one :) It get's 4.5 stars for me!!
