Hereafter, book 3 of the Lost Princesses by Jody Hedlund

Hereafter by Jody Hedlund is the third and final book in the Lost Princess series.  Emmiline is one of the twin daughters of the king and queen of Mercia. With the death of the king and queen in Always, a novella, Lance an Elite guard and Lady Felicia flee with the three Princesses. The Three are separated and Lance and Felicia raise Emmaline in the forest. This is Emmaline's story and it is a tale of love and courage. The story is again full of knights and treasure, princesses and bravery. I found this to be a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to the series. As always my biggest regret is that this is the end of the series and I will have to look for new adventures elsewhere. So grab a fluffy blanket and a pot of tea so that you can settle in for a grand adventure.

I must add that this series has some of the most beautiful covers I have seen!

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

From Amazon:

The third lost princess. The final key to the treasure. And a battle for the throne.

Growing up deep in the forest as a poor charcoal burner’s daughter, Emmeline has always known her identity as a princess of Mercia, and she lives in fear of being caught and killed. When her adopted father returns from town with news regarding the imminence of war, Emmeline has no wish to join the rebellion against King Ethelwulf.

Prince Ethelrex, the strongest warrior in the land, has done everything he can to prove his loyalty to his father, including searching for the last lost princess. When Ethelrex finally captures Emmeline, the king commands his son to marry the princess in order to win the support of the people and undermine the rebellion.

Forced into marriage, Emmeline has one goal—to escape. But Ethelrex takes his marriage vows seriously, including his promise to love and cherish his wife, and has no intention of letting Emmeline getaway. As the battle for the throne rages, will the prince be able to win the battle for Emmeline’s heart?
