Heart of a Lion

by Emory R. Frie

It seems as though Sam is split between three different people. She's torn between Sam the Lion Heart—one of King Richard’s Great Knights, Samantha Lionton—a girl of the past who cannot be ignored, and Princess Samantha—the adopted daughter of the King and Queen themselves.
William of the Silver Blade, a Great Knight by inheritance, has his own hardships in life. Despite the abruptness of his sudden reign as lord, Will has yet to discover what real misfortune is, and how easily it can flourish.
When a tournament brings them together—two knights who might actually match each other in skill and heart—and an old threat rises in the kingdom, Sam and Will are both forced to face their pasts in order to save the kingdom from the return of Akelin.

Reviews

[Inkstone Review · Rating 3 out of 5]

Heart of a Lion is a gripping, fast-paced fantasy tale about bravery and being true to yourself. The characters have unique and lively minds that engage and captivate the reader. Frie’s novel is plot and character driven and it moves forward quickly. There is a touch of humour in this work that is modern and yet medieval; it is a very interesting blend.
