Harriet has always been the type of girl who would rather ride horses than stitch embroidery, practice her sword-fighting than practice her curtsies, and she'd rather dream about being the first female knight in all of history instead of a docile wife on some nobleman's arm. When a war between the allies of Ecrivenia and the kingdom of Carigan starts to brew, Harriet begins to wonder if it might just be her chance to become the knight she's always wished to be. Taking a chance, Harriet enlists in the King's Army, disguising herself as the red-headed, slight-figured, and quick-witted boy, Harry. However, when she is put under the charge of the handsome and strict King of Marenta, Leopold, she realizes her troubles are just beginning. Not only will she have to keep the other men from noticing she is a woman, but she will also have to put up with the scrutiny of King Leopold, the best friend of her brother-in-law. Throw in grueling training sessions, whispers of treason, and the enemy's secret weapon, Harriet suddenly finds herself thrust into the reality of being a knight in a war that might not be able to be won. ------ This is a sister novel to the first draft of Glass Slippers.

This is an instalove fantasy story, still in the works! Greya Fussodd, she needs an escape, she didn't expect a tall, broad stranger to interrupt her plan.

She finds that she and Quin are connected in more ways than the searing heat between them. -------- This isn't serious writing. It's more of a make you wish your life wasn't boring and single fluff piece. Let's be real, that's the only reason we use wattpad. It's super fast paced and it's fantasy. Some characters are NOT human so don't be complaining 'bout how they're real touchy n' stuff.Complete
