When Owain kidnaps the wife and children of a man he hates, she has to decide whose side she is on. She also ensures she can never be free from the very man who slayed her family. By convincing Owain-the leader of the warband-that she holds the power to protect him from death, she makes herself invaluable. Anderson Coats #Įlen’s story is not an easy one: when she and her sisters are subjected to the horrors of a medieval warband, she saves herself the only way she knows how. Branwen’s abilities begin to swerve out of control as she falls in love with a prince from the rival country, and a journey across the sea brings a storm she might never escape. Her heart also bears the weight of ancient magic and an unswerving love for her cousin and her country. Branwen is handmaiden to her cousin, the princess of Iveriu.

It is only natural that a tale about King Arthur be included in this list. The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White #
