The Cornish Princess - Tanya Crosby

\n \nTanya Anne Crosby has created her own mythology, where history and legend collide. - Whiskey & Wit Book Reviews\n \n \n\n \nLong before there was a Winter King, there was a Summer Queen-Gwendolyn of Cornwall, a fierce warrior princess who raised an army to unite nations.\n \n \n\n \nSaid to be a changeling child left to the King and Queen of Cornwall, Gwen is blessed in her cradle with three Fae gifts: a prophecy for her future, a gift of Reflection, and a golden mane-literally. Every lock of her hair will turn to gold, only provided\n \n'tis cut by her one true love.\n \n \n\n \nBut no one understands more than Gwendolyn that her blessings are truly curses. Any man who gazes upon her will only see his own heart reflected in her countenance, and depending upon his virtue, she is either the loveliest woman in all the land... or the most hideous. It's a cruel jest of the capricious Fae, for unless a man's heart is true, Gwendolyn is destined to be coveted for her crown, yet despised for her face.\n \n \n\n \nTo make matters worse, Gwendolyn's aging and ailing father is desperate for an alliance with Brutus of Loegria. The Romans are coming, and according to the Goldenchild Prophecy, only by uniting their Draig banners can they stem the Red Tide.\n \n \n\n \nOffered to Brutus's ambitious son, Prince Locrinus, Gwendolyn's heart is nevertheless tempted by a mysterious, maddening half-blood Fae whom she can never wed if she is to fulfill her crib side prophecy.\n \n \n\n \nPart 1 of an exciting, new series.\n
