The Warrior Maiden

by Melanie Dickerson · 2019

In a medieval world besieged by Teutonic knights, an orphaned girl named Mulan defies tradition. Expected to marry, cook, and bear children, she instead dons a man's armor to take her father's place on the battlefield. Disguised as a young soldier, she fights alongside the duke’s son, Wolfgang, whose fierce loyalty to his people pits him against his own brother. Their rivalry turns to reluctant friendship as they share secrets and confront the brutal realities of war. With her mother’s safety hanging in the balance, Mulan must prove herself in combat or face a fate worse than death—marriage to the village butcher. When news of danger reaches her from home, she is forced to choose between love, duty, and the future she has fought to protect.
