Chivalry in the Shadows by Meg Merriet Wahlberg

Description

Honor demands obedience. Love demands courage.

Rowen has never accepted the life chosen for her. While society expects her to embrace the traditional role reserved for noblewomen, she dreams of following in her father’s footsteps as a knight. Her twin brother Roland, meanwhile, longs for poetry and music instead of swords and glory. Together, they have always existed just outside the expectations of their world.

Everything changes when the Baron announces that his daughter, the beautiful Lady Amarys, will marry the victor of the upcoming Midsummer Tournament.

For Rowen, the tournament is more than a competition. It is the only chance to fight for her future and the woman she secretly loves.

Disguising herself as her twin brother, Rowen enters the tournament as a knight, while convincing Roland to play the part of Amarys’s husband in name only should victory be theirs. But hidden identities are difficult to maintain amid rival knights, dangerous competitions, political intrigue, and growing emotions that threaten to expose every carefully guarded secret.

Rich with authentic medieval atmosphere, thrilling jousts, courtly romance, and unforgettable characters, Chivalry in the Shadows combines the excitement of historical adventure with a heartfelt story of identity, freedom, and choosing one’s own destiny.

Perfect for readers who enjoy queer fantasy, gender-disguise adventures, slow-burn romance, and tales of knights, tournaments, and impossible love.
