Sleiman’s Valiant Hearts Series Offers
Unforgettable Heroines
Strong and adventurous Gwendolyn Barnes longs to be a knight like her chivalrous brothers. However, that is not an option for her, not even in the Arthurian-inspired Eden where she dwells. Her parents view her only as a marriage pawn, and her domineering father is determined to see her wed to a brutish man who will break her spirit.
When handsome, good-hearted Allen of Ellsworth arrives in Edendale searching for his place in the world, Gwendolyn spies in him the sort of fellow she could imagine marrying. Yet fate seems determined to keep them apart. Tournaments, intrigue, and battles–along with twists and turns aplenty–await these two as they struggle to find love, identity, and their true destinies.

Summary
Lady Gwendolyn Barnes defies popular opinion and hones her talents as a skilled North Britannia warrior, hoping to escape an unhappy life wed to a despicable knight of her own father\'s choosing. Under the guise of \"Sir Geoffrey Lachapelle\", she enters a local tournament and finds herself facing the handsome Sir Allen of Ellsworth, whose superb fighting abilities ultimately surpass her own, regardless of the fact that no one has ever heard of him. Interestingly enough, when Gwendolyn and Allen face each other without their armor, it becomes quite clear that sparring is the last thing on either of their minds. Newly knighted Allen of Ellsworth has travelled a great distance to the place where he feels that God has called him. Fleeing the vestiges of a failed romance, he never expected to be drawn to the lovely Lady Gwendolyn upon first sight. Unfortunately, tragedy soon occurs within Edendale and Allen\'s sense of pride, honor and integrity faces a much greater challenge than his feelings for Gwendolyn. Can he possibly let go of love in order to save an entire kingdom? Written against a backdrop of cruelty, rivalry and sinister intents; chivalry must rise to a new level in order for Allen, Gwendolyn to survive a treasonous interloper. A nicely written addition to Dina Sleiman\'s \"Valiant Hearts\" series, \"Chivalrous\" is infested with a multitude of twists and turns for two fiercely noble hearts to navigate.
