Foremost by Jody Hedlund


Foremost, book two in Jody Hedlund's Lost Princesses series is fantastic! I loved the theme of faithfulness to the end that runs through this book. The setting of the Highland country of Mercia is fascinating and holds many dangers that must be overcome. Maribel and Edward are tested in many ways but they continue on their quest to find Maribel's sister, Princess Adelaide. So grab a mug of tea and settle in for one of the best reads of the year! I am eagerly anticipating Hearafter the final book in the series! It will be released October 29 of 2019. I am also greatly enjoying the covers! they are gorgeous!

I was given a copy of this book by the author with no expectations. All thought's are my own.

From Amazon:

A second princess. Another key to the treasure. And a cruel king desperate to squelch the growing rebellion.

Raised in an isolated abbey, Lady Maribel desires nothing more than to become a nun and continue practicing her healing arts. She’s carefree and happy with her life…until a visitor comes to the abbey and reveals her true identity as one of the lost princesses.

When he was a young boy, Edmund Chambers helplessly watched King Ethelwulf murder his family. Edmund escaped and has lived in the abbey ever since, uniquely trained to work with wild animals. Secretly, he loves Maribel and desperately hopes she doesn’t complete her holy order vows.

When King Ethelwulf’s army arrives at the abbey to capture Maribel, she flees with Edmund across the desolate Highlands in an attempt to reach Adelaide’s rebel army. Edmund can no longer hide his love, but can Maribel give up her dreams of becoming a nun to love him in return?

Jody lives in central Michigan with her husband, five busy children, and five spoiled cats. Although Jody prefers to experience daring and dangerous adventures through her characters rather than in real life, she’s learned that a calm existence is simply not meant to be (at least in this phase of her life!).

When she’s not penning another of her page-turning stories, she loves to spend her time reading, especially when it also involves consuming coffee and chocolate.
