Courage of Ansgar: A Windflower Saga Novella (The Windflower Saga Book 21)

"Courage of Ansgar" is included in the Windflower Saga collection titled "The Far Haven Treasury" which received a gold medal in Romance Fiction from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association President's Book Awards.

"Courage of Ansgar" is a romantic historical fantasy based on a character mentioned in the epic fantasy novel "Far Haven: A Quest for Certitude. A Fight for Justice." (Part III of the Windflower Saga trilogy). It takes place in a historical fantasy setting and follows the life of a member of the royal mixed-race/indigenous Ansgar family of Kimbria as she is asked to participate in an introduction of four young noblewomen to the new King of Kimbria as candidates for his hand in marriage.
Twenty-one-year-old Kerys of Ansgar is a young woman with a lot on her mind. She's in her last year of studies at University, and it's exam preparation week. She's VERY concerned about where she'll go and what she'll do, once she's finished at school. Just ask her roommates, Emilia and Ronny; or her Uncle John and Aunt Johanna, who raised her after she was orphaned as a child. But one thing that is definitely NOT on her mind is spending this week at the Royal Palace along with three other young women of ducal rank, competing for the position of the queen consort of Kimbria. She enjoys riding her tall mare at a fast pace and she's a good sprinter, but this is one race she has no interest in running let alone winning. No. Let it go to one of the others. The last thing she wants to do this week is to marry a stranger, especially when she is far more attracted to the king's cousin than to the king. This is a sweet romance story that becomes a political conspiracy adventure before it's over as the lives of the royal family and the prime minister are endangered and Kimbria faces a world on the brink of war.
