When Mia and her best friend Lilly accept an invitation from Lilly’s cousin Finn, a fire swallower at the Renaissance Faire, they expect a weekend with knights, jousts, and maybe a stolen kiss or two.

Instead, they find themselves drawn into a simmering rivalry between six knights—some honorable, some anything but.
Among them is the golden-haired Sir Cedric, the white knight. With his courtly charm and handsome looks, he could have stepped off the cover of one of the romance novels Mia loves to read. He could be Mia’s prince charming.
But there’s something about the brooding black knight, Sir Alaric, whose quiet gaze hides a storm.
And both have their eyes on her.
As the tournament heats up, strange disappearances and eerie rustlings in the night point to something far darker than courtly games.
When a great horned owl begins appearing to speak to Mia, she must try to understand what he’s trying to tell her.
The danger is real. The rateem, rat-like creatures, have begun hunting festival guests, and they want Mia.
But which of the knights will step up to be her protector, and is one her true love?
Trust at the Ren Faire can be as treacherous as the joust, and both women must decide who to believe—before the final tilt becomes a battle for their lives.

In a place where illusion and reality blur, Mia and Lila will discover that courage comes in many forms… and the truest knights fight not just with steel, but with their hearts.
