Please join me in congratulating Rebekah Simmers on the publication of her debut historical novel, The King's Sword! I had the pleasure of assisting Rebekah with a copyedit. Here's the book description:
Princess Avelina has nothing. And no one. Since the death of her parents shattered her world, Avelina has lived as a political pawn, having been degraded, disinherited, and defined by others. When a mysterious soldier arrives at her bridal barter, Avelina dares to hope — could this be the chance of escape she’s been praying for?
Their paths intertwined, the soldier and princess embark on a journey that will change both of their lives forever. Plagued by self-doubt, rocked by betrayals, haunted by faltering faith and forbidden feelings that test their loyalties, they’ll learn the hardest fought battles are often those waged within themselves.
An irresistible blend of historical fiction, adventure, and romance, The King’s Sword is the first novel of the Metzlingen Saga. From soaring Alps to crumbling ruins, welcoming hearths to calculating courts, this love story, nestled within the German landscape of the Renaissance, honors friendship, found family, and the lengths we go to for those we love.
