Dina, did a fantastic job with this storyline; even if we aren't 100% certain that this could have happened, the way the story unfolds you won't even think to question it! If you are like me, you will be so deep into the story, that all you will be doing is rooting for GWEN and hoping she gets to put that training to good use!!

It was rare, and it is uncertain if they actually fought. It has also been coming out recently that there were many female Viking warriors. And most certainly, medieval women learned to shoot with a bow and arrow and often fight with a sword. It was important that they knew how to protect themselves. <br /><br />As for my female knight, she's not an official knight, but she has trained as one and wants to fight in a tournament like her brothers. I think I managed to keep everything well with the realm of historical possibility, if not probability.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-84653051817544171262015-09-23T00:01:51.942-04:002015-09-23T00:01:51.942-04:00I just picked up a copy of "Dauntless" n...I just picked up a copy of "Dauntless" not too long ago (not yet read), so adding this one to the mix would be awesome!

I'm in...Beautiful review, Teresa - thank you!!<br /><br />I'm in total agreement with other commenters re: the beautiful cover. Such an interesting and unusual story line - one that's guaranteed excitement, I'm sure. I wasn't aware of women masquerading as male soldiers on the battlefield during periods of war - until I read the blurbs of some Christian Fiction books implementing this in their story lines, and the research behind it. I have very limited knowledge of knights, were there actually female knights - Dina??
