Colin of Berkhamshire knows two things - the pleasure of warring and that brides do not want him. Two years ago his bride-to-be, Alienore, fled and hasn't been seen since. Yet his father keeps foisting prospects on him. The latest seems to do nothing but faint.
Alienore of Solonge knows two things as well - that fleeing not only Colin but also her scheming stepmother was the right thing to do. Yet as a knight in disguise she constantly fears discovery. At this point, she's not sure whom she fears more, the Butcher of Berkhamshire or her evil stepmother.
Through a bizarre twist of fate, she ends up journeying with her charge- Colin's latest intended - to England, where Alienore finds herself not only in the Butcher of Berkhamshire's garrison, but being made over into a knight by him personally. She thinks her lie cannot worsen
Until she begins to fall in love with him...
I was definitely entertained by reading this book. Colin was constantly doing things the "manly way." I loved his version of wooing (fighting, telling bloody stories, showing how to sharpen a sword).I still dont believe a girl can get away with impersonating a guy for all that long a time.
