Description
A troubled wanderer is summoned to serve as the personal guard of a rival family. He follows the route of a heroic ancestor through storied places, the depths of loneliness and suspicion, and a growing question of what he must do.
A bookish princess struggles with grief, responsibilities, and the same conspiracy which accidentally empowered her. Soon she must contend with a troubled wanderer.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
"This is a richly layered fantasy that immerses readers in a world of legacy, duty, and intrigue, where the past and present collide in unexpectedly perilous ways." Masha A.M., Goodreads Reviewer
"At every level, the author takes common settings and tropes and reworks them in subtle ways that made the story feel particularly rich." M.C. Burnell, Goodreads Reviewer
Marketing Plan
I intend to maintain a robust presence on BlueSky and Mastodon, while maintaining my blog/website and raising awareness in my local community. I will also continue to participate in indie author bundles to raise awareness and readership for the time being. If accepted, this book will be showcased in Canada Fiction Fest: https://fictionfest.ca/about-canada-fiction-fest/

I certainly enjoyed it more once I got my head around what the book's actually about. I'd say it's mainly the story of Chandra, the reclusive princess who never expected to have influence, and the courtly schemes that rise up against her. Derek, the titular gift-knight, has a smaller role and really starts being a key player halfway through. Readers looking for murder mystery, intrigues, moments of wry commentary and subtle humor (who doesn't love poking fun at archaic laws) will find this a quick, tasty little read.
