This year seven author friends have joined me to provide an extra-special gift package for our 2023 Hug a Medievalist Day winner! We're giving away 8 autographed print books plus some bonus prizes! We want to give you a chance to meet the prizes before our giveaway begins, so each day I will be posting a different prize and description. Here we go with:
Prize 2
An autographed print copy of Of Daggers and Deception, a Christian historical adventure novel by A. L. Sowards
After years as a soldier and mercenary, Rasheed has retired from battle to run the bathhouse in Thebes with his friends Gillen and Eudocia. The simple life suits them, so when Venetian strangers come to town looking to hire the renowned crew, their answer is no. But when one of his friends is abducted, Rasheed is left with no choice but to take up his weapon and join forces with the Venetians, including the beautiful and clever Cecilia, whose betrothed has also been seized by the unknown foe.
As the reluctant allies face ambushes and the looming threat of capture, Rasheed and Cecilia forge a surprising connection. But as the party races to rescue their friends, Rasheed discovers that nothing is as it seems. As his trust in Cecilia begins to waver, he realizes that in the end, they will both be forced to make a choice between love and duty.
