Blurb-
The Hundred Years War rages around Adalira Mortimer's life
and country, but she is not what is expected of a Lady; instead of dresses and
tea, she dreams about weapons and war.
Bastian Kyros is not typical royalty. Being a warrior is in
his blood, not paperwork and peace-keeping.
Tradition drives their families. She is expected to don her
manners and win a worthy husband, and he is expected to drop his sword and do
what's right for the sake of his family's name, land, and future.
Their chance meeting at the party of the season may offer
them both the chance to find what they desire. Brought together by their
longing for battle, their greatest fight may be in winning over their families
and conquering their own pride.
A lull in battle does not mean there is peace. The greatest
of wars are fought in the heart.

Lady Adalira is a strong willed women who
believes in being trained to defend herself, indeed is as good as any knight
that her father has fighting for him. Bastion Kyros is a soldier steeped in tradition
and really doesn’t want to follow his parent’s wishes of marriage and settling
down. When they meet as a masquerade ball Bastion is entranced by Aldira and
decides to write her a letter. She is very happy with the letter writing and
keeps it going as they slowly get to know each other through words. Becoming
friends through these letters they decide to meet at a tournament, at the last
moment everything goes wrong and a misunderstanding comes between them. Will
they settle it out to go ahead with their relationship? Will they just forget
each other?
Quite honestly this is the best historical
romance I have read in a very long time. CL Foster and E. R. Rada write
seamlessly as they weave a magical story around the reader. I simply slipped
into this story and became a part of the surroundings, feeling very at home. I
want more, more, more!! Please? I highly recommend this book to lovers of
romance, it has all the makings of a true classic. My thanks to the authors for
writing this awesome story that I will treasure forever.
CL is eclectic, geeky, positive, nature-loving and
completely non-"normal" (just the way she likes to be). She has been
a fan of literature since she was a small child and finally decided to take her
dreams (both waking and sleeping!) and do something positive with them.
CL has lived all over the world and has a Bachelor's degree
in Criminal Justice, minoring in Psychology and Forensics. Which means you
don't want to cross her because she knows how and where to hide a body so it's
never found! She proudly admits to hearing voices in her head, but at times,
her characters' impromptu visits can be rude and annoying. Thankfully, she has
adequate patience for their shenanigans and can out ninja them any day of the
week.
CL's voice is boisterous, sassy, and not finished yet! Stay
tuned!
E.R. Rada-
E.R. Rada is a NY native who's mind is in a constant battle
with reality and fiction. He's been penning his tales while expressing his
inner most demons and heartfelt wishes since he was able to rhyme.
Poetry and fantasy are his weapons of choice as his
inner-most wish to be a dragon-riding, sword-wielding warrior has yet to come
to fruition. E.R. knows there is no time limit on greatness, so he continues to
float on his constant state of flux; learning, growing, and improving as time
goes on.
E.R. is a battle worn soldier who will quickly compare
apples and oranges, simply because he's told he can't. Never one to conform, he
embraces his nerdy/geek tendencies and is well known for creating new and
interesting ways to do things (see: stubborn/the hard way). In doing things his
own way, he has earned his way through life with plenty of battle scars,
knowledge, and memories.
