»Tanya Anne Crosby hat ihre eigene Mythologie erschaffen, in der Geschichte und Legende kollidieren. Wenn The Cornish Princess einem gemütlichen, knisternden Feuer glich, jugendlich und naiv gegenüber seinem vorhergesagten Schicksal, dann ist The Queen’s Huntsman eine lodernde Schmiede, die erhitzt, biegt und umformt – ein listiges Schwert, das seinen Tribut fordert.« — Whiskey & Wit Book Reviews

Alle Hoffnung scheint verloren, als sich Gwendolyns lang ersehnter Prinz als alles andere als ihre wahre Liebe erweist. Nachdem sie die Drachenbanner vereint hat, erkennt sie zu spät, dass Loc nichts weiter ist als Ehrgeiz, der sich in einen Mantel aus Charme hüllt.

The Joyride
Two teenage boys in a borrowed car find a dead man along the roadside… who turns out to be not so dead.

The Body
The man has been shot in the back of the head, but the steel plate in his skull saved his life. He has no ID and no memory. But in his pocket is Professor Olivia Dupree’s card, with her home address and private number hand written on the back.

The Mysterious Stranger
Olivia has secrets that could get her killed. It makes her nervous that the reclusive author she invited to be the guest speaker at a private fund raiser, was apparently the target of a professional hit. But that has to be who he is. Aaron Westhaven, the author she’s read so much, he feels like a friend. The card she’s shown is the one she sent him, the handwriting on the back, her own. He was due to arrive the same day the stranger was found.
