Fortress of Snow by Melanie Dickerson is a wonderful historical fiction that has fiction, fairy tales, mystery, suspense, romance, and a wonderful ending. It is the fourth book in the amazing Dericott Tales series. I must love this book.

I have enjoyed all four books in this series thus far, but each book can easily be a standalone novel. Reading them together gives the reader a beautiful tapestry of another time, place, and another world. A world where good triumphs over evil, romance is cultivated and blossoms, where knights are chivalrous, and faith, hope, and promise is a stone within foundations.

Mazy and Berenger are great characters. There are obstacles tossed their way, externally and from within. I loved the plot, pacing, and of course the ending.

5/5 stars

A enjoyable read about woman abandoned by her family and a man looking to be a hero. Mazy, a young woman, who can shoot an arrow, throw a knife, and lay traps, is ignored by her older brothers and she must fend for herself. Berenger is a knight in the king’s military, looking for an opportunity to prove himself. Berenger sees a woman whom he needs to protect, Mazy sees a man who is kind and generous. Mazy feels she is cannot marry Sir Berenger and believes he would not want to marry her, for she considers herself beneath his status. However, after a couple years apart, Berenger sees Mazy in a new light, but becomes torn between duty to his king and duty to his heart. He vows to discover one’s true character before making a decision, and some will play on his chivalrous nature, but he is determined to discover the truth and protect the king from all those who wish to harm him and his country. But how will Berenger‘s choices impact those he loves?
