Tessa Gratton's Lady Hotspur is a sweeping, heart-stopping
Shakespearean novel of betrayal and battlefields and destiny.
STRIKE FAST, LOVE HARD, LIVE FOREVER
This is the motto of the Lady Knights--sworn to fealty under a
struggling kingdom, promised to defend the prospective heir, Banna Mora.
But when a fearsome rebellion overthrows the throne, Mora is faced with
an agonizing choice: give up everything she's been raised to love, and
allow a king-killer to be rewarded--or retake the throne, and take up
arms against the newest heir, Hal Bolingbrooke, Mora's own childhood
best friend and sworn head of the Lady Knights.
Hal loathes being a Prince; she's much more comfortable instated on the
Throne of Misrule, a raucous underground nether-court where passion
rules all. She yearns to live up to the wishes of everyone she loves
best--but that means sacrificing her own heart, and so she will
disappoint everyone until the moment she can rise to prove those
expectations wrong.
And between these two fierce Princes is the woman who will decide all
their fates--Lady Hotspur, the fiery and bold knight whose support will
turn the tides of the coming war.
