Suitor Armor

    (Ten Speed, 2024)

While humans and fairies are at war beyond the castle walls, Lucia’s life is dedicated to helping prepare Lady Kirsi for her upcoming wedding to King Reimund. Lucia’s time at court takes a dazzling turn when she accompanies Lady Kirsi to a royal tournament that calls together all of the kingdom’s brave knights for a competition of strength and wit. A magically animated suit of armor, brought to life by Norrix the court mage’s complicated enchantment spell, enters the ring and challenges the winning knight. Lucia is immediately attracted to the armor’s dark, mysterious charm and lovingly names him Modeus. Bonded by their mutual status as outcasts within the kingdom, the two begin to develop an unlikely yet thrilling connection and sparks (both metaphorical and magical) fly.
