SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOOLLAHRA DIGITAL LITERARY AWARDS 2017
Companions are the kingdom’s most beautiful and educated women—possessions of Syrasan’s royal men.
Aldara is sixteen when she is sold to the obnoxious crown prince as a gift for his brother. Forced to leave the only life she has ever known, Aldara is sent to Archdale Castle, where she is mentored to become Prince Tyron’s perfect Companion. But no amount of lessons can prepare her for the troubled man marked by war. He sees straight through the polished exterior presented to him. He sees her. She must keep the facade together or deal with the repercussions.
Prince Tyron has just returned from war. All he wants is privacy to grieve the men who died at the border. So when his brother gifts him a Companion upon his return, he is forced to embrace a tradition he has so far managed to avoid. Except Aldara is not like the others. She walks with her face to the sun and arms swinging. Her laughter makes him forget the lie. But if they ignore the rules that safeguard them, there will be consequences…
This is book one in The Companion series. If you enjoy medieval romance that is out of this world, then this epic tale of love against all odds is for you.
Trigger warning: This book contains sexual violence, death and dark themes.
Please note: This is part one of Tyron and Aldara’s story. Their story continues in books two and three—available now.
Interview with the Author
Q – So, why did you write this book?
A – I never intended to write a Romance novel, but when I was pregnant with my second son I experienced really vivid dreams that would remain with me for days after. The two main characters in this book remained with me for much longer. They were in love, and they were in pain. I had to tell their story.
There is an intensity to their relationship that I think readers will love.
Q – Is this book part of a series?
A – Yes, it’s the first book in The Companion series. Aldara and Tyron’s story continues in book two, The Common Girl, and book three, The Majestic Impostor. Book four, The King’s Obsession, is also now available.
Q – Why should readers give this book a try?
A – The Royal Companion is a tender and fierce story about a forbidden love. Readers will lose themselves in this alternate-world, and the characters will remain with them long after they finish reading.
Q – Who will this book appeal to?
A – This novel does not fit neatly into one Romance sub-genre. Its medieval setting and characters will appeal to both historical and fantasy romance readers. Throw in some horses and action, and you have quite the Romance hybrid.
Thanks for reading.
