Squire Derel

Knight Protector, Book 1

By: Rachel Ford

Narrated by: Lynne Ennis

In the fires of war and death, she'll make her own destiny.

Ana Derel was never meant to be a knight protector. She was never meant to be a squire. She was supposed to marry well and raise sons who would become knight protectors.

Ana had other plans. After years of hard work, Squire Ana Derel has earned the respect of her peers. She's a crack shot and lethal with a blade. She's weeks away from earning her own knighthood.

Then a deadly ambush leaves her charred, defeated, and wanting justice. With the South readying for war and the North demanding answers, Squire Derel finds herself alone in the epicenter of the coming storm. Alone, until she meets the enigmatic Knight of the Shire. Will their unlikely friendship be enough to prevent a war? Or will war consume them, too?

Lovely

This book was amazing. I enjoyed the adventures, and the characters and their environments were depicted beautifully.

A tough read for me

I had a hard time with this one. The beginning of the book was very uneventful. I had a hard time sticking with it. The ending was better when the dragons finally entered.

Wonderfully done.

A very interesting and exciting story. However it does leave you guessing what happens. As far as the narration goes I was very pleased with the narrator, she done a wonderful job bringing life to the characters. I would recommend this book.

An enjoyable book.

I quickly found myself listening for longer than I had planned. That 'just one more chapter' kept me up longer than I planned. The narrator did a wonderful job giving g voice to each character.

Takes off like a jet from an aircraft carrier

Squire Derel (Knight Protector, Book 1), my thirteenth read from prolific author Rachel Ford and the first book in her Knight Protector series. A well-written & enjoyable book that takes off like a jet fighter from an aircraft carrier and only picks up speed from there. 8-hours 21-minutes of pleasurable reading. No matter the genre a Rachel Ford book can be counted on to be entertaining & enjoyable. I look forward to the next book in the series, Mountain Witch (Knight Protector, Book 2), Oh well, I have other Rachel Ford books to read. Lynne Ennis's narration makes a good book even better. "I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
