Lady's Knight
āĻāĻ āĻ-āĻŦā§āĻā§āĻ° āĻŦāĻŋāĻˇā§ā§
Gwen is sick of hidingâhiding the fact that sheâs taken over her fatherâs blacksmithing duties, hiding her attraction to girls, hiding her yearning for glory as a knight.
Meanwhile, Lady Isobelle of Avington, queen bee of the castle, has never once considered hiding who she isâuntil now. Sheâs been chosen as the grand prize in the Tournament of Dragonslayers, to be given to whichever knight can claim her hand. And for the first time in her life, she canât talk her way out of trouble.
When Isobelle discovers Gwenâs knightly ambitions, they hatch a scheme togetherâGwen will joust in the tournament, disguised as Sir Gawain. Winning means freedom for Isobelle, and glory for Gwen. Losing meansâĻ well, letâs not go there.
One thingâs for sure: Falling in love was never the plan.
But the best laid plansâĻare often trampled all over by dragons.
"A sapphic delight, full of jousts, jaunts, and courtly love. Lady's Knight sparkles with wit and charm and has lady knights to swoon over. Kaufman and Spooner will leave you breathless." âC. S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise
"There are a lot of damsels in Lady's Knight, but none of them need a man to fix their problems. (Men seem to be the source of the problems, in fact.) Wholesome, heartfelt, and more fun than cheesecake on a stick, Kaufman and Spooner's latest book is all about women's work. You know, jousting, dragonslaying, and saving the kingdomâall while looking fabulous." âJodi Meadows, coauthor of the New York Times bestselling novels My Lady Jane and My Plain Jane
