A Breath of Life by Elizabeth (Betsy) Gibbs
[Fantasy Romance]
On a beautiful spring day, Princess Alana, the ravishing, spirited, and willful daughter of the King and Queen of Layla, risks her reputation - and her life - by leaving the safety of the castle. Rescued by the Grey Knight, a princess falls in love, but angers her parents by behavior they consider wanton - and risks her upcoming marriage to the prince of a neighboring kingdom.All the princess and her knight-rescuer have to offer is a story only a hermit and an old witch initially believe. But once the truth is learned, the ultimate dilemma remains: who will Princess Alana marry - Prince Harland II, the royal to whom she was betrothed (and someone who feels betrayed by his father, the King of Terron); or the noble knight man who saved her life with a "breath of life" (someone who has loved her from afar but has never been considered "worthy" of marrying a princess)? Could the answer be found in...a joust?This romantic love story, written by first-time author Elizabeth Gibbs, brings together the color of a medieval setting with fast-paced storytelling and a cornucopia of compelling characters that interweave through a story of passion and adventure.
