She refuses to bend to future she doesn't want!
Gwendolyn would rather fight in the countryside than wear gowns and flirt with royals in court. But that is exactly what is expected of her, now that her father has returned from war.
Harsh, unyielding Lord Barnes is determined to marry Gwen off to the harsh, prideful, domineering Gawain.
To make things worse, Gwen has fallen for Allen of Ellsworth.
Allen long ago lost his heart to the beautiful Lady Merry when he was an outlaw with her and the other children in Farthingale forest. But now that she is engaged to Sir Timothy Grey, Allen knows it's time to strike out on his own.
So he heads off to Britannia, a land that is best known for being like Sir Author's Camelot A place devoted to God and the pursuit of His will.
When he arrives, the city is in the midst of preparation for a grand joust, just the thing for a newly appointed knight to try.
It is here that Gwendolyn and Allen meet and fall in love with each other. But they must decide if their's is a love worth fighting untold odds for. In the twists and turns of this book, Gwen and Allen learn what it means to be truly Chivalrous.

I. Love. This. Series!!!! And I absolutely love love love Dina Sleiman's books.
The Valiant Heart series continues in Chivalrous with Allen, who was in Dauntless as the spiritual pastor of the Fathingale Forest Ghost. He's recently been promoted to a knight and decides to seek out a different place to live, away from Merry and Timothy.
I loved the fast pace, ever changing story! The characters from book one come into play and Dina introduces characters that are going to be in book three in a epic way! I can't wait until it comes out.
Allen was a favorite of mine in Dauntless and I loved the new characters of Gwendolyn and Rosaland. Both Allen and Gwen are strong, courageous people and the battles, adventures, and missteps they have strengthen them and make them wonderful role models.
I am so excited for book three that's due to come out in July of this year!
I give this book 5/5! Can't wait for more Mrs Sleiman!
I'm totally gonna read this!! Thanks, Anna!
