Affection tested by duty

Set in the medieval world of Charibert, the story turns on a bond that has shifted from enmity to friendship—and on the arranged marriage threatening to end it. Joslyn is expected to leave with her father and marry a man she does not know, while Elric struggles to honor her father’s decision even as he wants her to stay. His promise to protect her also brings their differing temperaments into tension: Joslyn resists his commands, and he must weigh care for her against respect for her family’s choice. The romance is framed by questions of obligation, personal choice, and the risks of attachment.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in medieval historical fiction.

Book overview

Once enemies, now friends. Their fondness for each other has blossomed, but her arranged marriage keeps them apart.

 

During her stay at Charibert, Joslyn came to understand Elric's true character as a kind lord. Admiring the honorable man that he is, her heart teeters on the edge of falling in love with him, yet she knows a relationship with Elric is impossible. When her father arrives to escort her, Joslyn will leave Charibert to wed a man she does not know.

 

Eric vows to protect Joslyn, to keep her safe, even if it may cost him his life. His patience is tested, for she is headstrong, impulsive, and purposely defies his commands. However, he is drawn to her beauty and has become fond of Joslyn's companionship. Dreading the day that she must depart from Charibert to wed another, Elric vows to respect her father's choice for her husband. Will he be able to watch Joslyn walk out of his life when his heartfelt desire is for her to stay?
