Knight Protector

Ana Derel was never meant to be a knight protector. She was never meant to be a squire. She was supposed to marry well and raise sons who would become knight protectors. Ana had other plans. After years of hard work, Squire Ana Derel has earned the respect of her peers. She's a crack shot and lethal with a blade. She's weeks away from earning her own knighthood.

From the mountains, a witch will rise. Knight Protector Brynja knows why the people of her village never wander too far. There’s a witch who lives deep in the heart of the mountain. Some say she’s one of the last elves, who will have her vengeance on mankind. Some say she’s a myth, meant to frighten wandering children. But Brynja knows better, because she was one of those wandering younglings. And she saw the witch as a child. She still sees her, in her nightmares. When an army of dragon riders shows up at Brynja’s doorstep, the knight protector has to warn her queen.
