Welshwoman Terrwyn possesses skills not exactly befitting a woman of her time. Her skill with a bow and her dreams of the future can’t help her brother, though, when the English king’s army calls. Terrwyn sets off to find him and, while posing as a man in the army ranks, ends up shackled together with an English knight. Forced into the company of her sworn enemy, she finds Sir James Frost may know how to find her brother, but he also holds much more: the key to her heart.
Sir James Frost trusts no one, save the king. He especially doesn’t trust the person he’s chained to, but the Welsh maiden Terrwyn inadvertently works her way into his heart, and soon James is torn between duty to the Crown, and the promise of true love.
Knight Dreams is a sweet, riveting tale of medieval romance between two who should be enemies: a Welsh woman and an English knight. Terrwyn is feisty and definitely not a wilting flower of a maiden. She’s strong and determined, and she carries a sense of honor about her worthy of any knight. James, despite not trusting her, is endearing in his love and care for her, and his willingness to fight for her.
This is my first book from C. C. Wiley, but if Knight Dreams is any indication, it won’t be the last. I love the time period, and Wiley did a wonderful job in bringing out the best (and at times, the worst) of love and war in the Middle Ages.
