“‘Ofttimes we cannot change the entire direction of a route already set in motion. But we can do our small part to shift the path one degree at a time.’” Always, Jody Hedlund
Always is the story of seventeen-year-old Lady Felicia and Lance of the king’s Elite Guard. Her vow to the queen to take the newborn twin princesses and their three-year-old sister to safety and his final orders from the king to keep the princesses safe send these two strangers and their young charges on a dangerous journey that will forever change the course of all of their lives.
This fast-paced prequel to The Lost Princesses series introduces the reader to the kingdom of Mercia and its history, the usurper Ethelwulf, and the plight of the rightful heirs to the kingdom. Jody Hedlund keeps the reader moving right along with her characters and does not disappoint with a predictable ending. Yes, there is a bit of romance along the way, but who has time for romance when you are plunging to the bottom of a waterfall or fending off wolves? There is just the right amount of closure to the story that made me satisfied for the moment, yet still wondering, “What next?” Fortunately I won’t have to wait long. The first novel in The Lost Princesses series, Evermore, will be available later this month.
As a fan of Jody Hedlund’s YA series, The Noble Knights, I was excited to be given the chance to read her latest YA novella, Always, just prior to its official release. I am so glad I had pre-ordered, this is a book I will enjoy reading again.

Wonderful Medieval!
'Sometimes, when we think we've come to a dead end, we've arrived instead at God's stepping-stone on the way to bigger plans.'Tasked by the dying queen to keep her newborn twin daughters safe when the castle is overrun by an army, Lady Felicia fears for their lives. As she is packing to leave, she is confronted by Sir Lance, knight of the king's elite guard. Lance, too, has been tasked by the king to protect his twin newborns, including the 3 year old crown princess. Lance and Felicia have no trust for the other, but they are thrust together to save three small lives and outwit their pursuers.I have long been a fan of Jody Hedlund; since her first book, I've been determined to read everything she writes. She is a very good author, but she totally shines in her medieval offerings. It is my favorite time period to read and she is amazing at it. I loved every single minute of this one. Highly recommended. Now I must dash to read the next novel behind this one.*My thanks to the publisher and author for a preview copy of this book. My opinions stated here are completely my own.
