¿¿

A blacksmith's daughter with a secret.

A lady with a plan.

We're in for one unforgettable knight...

Gwen has spent the past several years manning the blacksmith's in place of her father, an open secret in the village in which she lives. A much more covert secret, however, is that she knows not only how to craft but also how to wield a sword, and an incognito stunt at the local jousting tournament manages to catch the eye of the wily Lady Isobelle.

Isobelle has secret dreams too, but she's been promised in marriage to the winner of the whole stupid tournament, which means an end to any freedom or choices for her. Desperate to avoid this fate, when she connects the newcomer knight to the female smithy she saw earlier that day, she begins to hatch a scheme...

Petty knights. Backstabbing noblemen. A prison breakout. Cheesecake-on-a-stick. One particularly large and angry dragon.

Will our ladies survive the night? And can our knight save the day?

Rezensionen

"A sapphic delight, full of jousts, jaunts and courtly love. Lady's Knight sparkles with wit and charm, and has lady knights to swoon over. Kaufman and Spooner will leave you breathless." - C.S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise


"Kaufman and Spooner are auto-buy authors for me, always guaranteed to get my heart pumping with their page-turning romance and high-stakes adventure."
- New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard

"There are a lot of damsels in Lady's Knight, but none of them need a man to fix their problems. (Men seem to be the source of the problems, in fact.) Wholesome, heartfelt, and more fun than cheesecake on a stick, Kaufman and Spooner's latest book is all about women's work. You know, jousting, dragonslaying, and saving the kingdom -- all while looking fabulous." - Jodi Meadows, coauthor of New York Times bestselling novels My Lady Jane and My Plain Jane

"Clever, funny, thrilling, and romantic-Lady's Knight will inspire readers to take up their swords to fight dragons and the patriarchy. Perfect for fans of A Knight's Tale and anyone who loves a romantasy with wit, charm, and the occasional comedic fourth wall break."
- F.T. Lukens, New York Times bestselling author of So This Is Ever After

"You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be ready to fight any dragon after reading this delightful tale full of swoony romance, heart-racing action, and the very best banter in the realm!" - Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling co-author of Night of the Witch


"Writing that is above all else marvelously warm, and at the same time witty, adventure and romance that will sweep you off your feet-a double sweep, and a triumph!" - Sarah Rees Brennan, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Long Live Evil

"Sparkles with wit and romance! So many quotable lines. Not to mention the sexiest gown-lacing scene in modern literature. Like its characters, Lady's Knight is endlessly clever and resourceful." - Ellen Kushner, award-winning author of Swordspoint

"Move over, Lancelot: my new favorite knight is here! Lady's Knight is both a whimsical fantasy romp and an ode to the relationships women share with other women-in community, in friendship, and in romance. This roaring good time is perfect for fans of films like Princess Bride and A Knight's Tale. Three cheers for Lady's Knight!"
- Nicole Brinkley, Oblong Books


"Characters' modern sensibilities contrast smoothly with the medieval setting, and the romance between the main characters is sparkling and witty. Fourth-wall breaks are done to hilarious effect, and this cozy knight's tale is as charming as it is funny and warm; a truly enjoyable rom-com." - Booklist (starred review)

"Compelling subplots center their fight against misogyny and classism, and several interludes by an unnamed narrator directly address readers, adding additional depth and intrigue to the worldbuilding. The authors insert abundant intentional anachronisms that successfully inject the story with levity, and Gwen and Isobelle's chemistry is swoonworthy. A thoroughly enjoyable Sapphic romp."
- Kirkus Reviews

"This hilariously anachronistic adventure-a contemporary homage to A Knight's Tale-balances slow-burning romance alongside serious examinations of privilege and gender. Fourth-wall-breaking asides and sardonic commentary from the novel's omniscient narrator add charm to this freewheeling collaboration by Spooner and Kaufman." - Publishers Weekly
