    About this ebook

    New York Times bestselling author Gaelen Foley leads readers on a magical journey to a fairytale land where good battles evil, adventure beckons the daring, and epic love awaits the true of heart.

    Resolutely noble, impossibly brave, paladin Sir Thaydor Clarenbeld serves as royal champion for the kingdom of Veraidel. But when the king becomes corrupt, Thaydor speaks out--and promptly ends up banished from court, sent off as a knight errant on an endless round of quests meant to get him killed. One mission nearly does. Covered in wounds after a monstrous battle, he lies at death's door when rescue arrives in the form of the beautiful, mystic healer known as the Maid of the Mount.

    The lady Wrynne du Mere gave up a luxurious life to devote herself to caring for others. When she finds the famous hero broken and bleeding, saving him will take all her skill--and a fateful dash of magic. And it will cost her dearly. For the dangerous spell will leave their souls forever entwined, and his foes, so many and so powerful, will target her, as well. Wrynne knows to survive and restore justice to the land, they must join forces. But for how long can they resist the searing temptation of desire?

      Gaelen Foley's newest book gives us a new genre to enjoy her writing. PALADIN'S PRIZE combines sci-fi/fantasy within a medieval world. It is LORD OF THE RINGS meets CAMELOT (okay, maybe not as epic.) While not knowing what to expect I dove into this world of knights, healers, light and dark. A whole world comes to life as Veraidel and its story is revealed on an as-need-to-know basis. This is a departure from the Regency world Ms. Foley usually writes of but she captured the flavor of the medieval world. The cadence and rhythm of her story telling changes with this world. She speaks in a different voice that shows the ideal nobility and chivalry of the people of that period. Chivalry, honesty, and purity define Sir Thaydor. Virtue, charity, and innocence define Wrynne du Mere. Thrown together because of evil deeds Wrynne saves Thaydor, bonding each to the other. Through their journey to save the king and his kingdom we learn who they are and what they stand for. At times light and dark must come together as one to defeat the evil that wants their world. Watching how the two sides work together to achieve victory over that evil fascinated me, especially when distrust had to be overcome. The characters are well defined. The world building fantastic. The ideals that Thaydor and Wrynne live by are black and white; there is no gray in their light-filled world. Since Thaydor is used as an example to the other knights, he lives what he preaches. Departing from the male knows everything there is to know in the bedroom, I loved that Thaydor is almost as untested in the bedroom as Wrynne and that he doubts himself (of course, it true romance fashion, he is as accomplished there as the most notorious rake.) There is an innocence between Thaydor and Wrynne that is beautiful to watch as they go from unknowns to a couple.With PALADIN'S PRIZE setting up the AGE OF HEROES setting, I look forward to more of these folks. There are secondary characters whose stories (past and future) I want to know. This promises to be a fun ride!
