The Cornish Princess — Tanya Anne Crosby

Before there was a Winter King, there was a Summer Queen—Gwendolyn of Cornwall, a warrior princess who raised an army to unite a nation.Said to be a changeling child left to the King and Queen of Cornwall, Gwendolyn is blessed at her cradle by three Fae gifts: a prophecy for her future, a gift of Reflection, and a golden mane—literally, every lock of her hair will turn to gold, provided it is cut by her one true love. But no one understands more than Gwendolyn that her blessings are really curses.Any man who gazes upon her face will see his own heart reflected in Gwendolyn's countenance, and depending on his nature, she is the loveliest woman in the land... or the most hideous. It's a cruel jest of the capricious Fae, for unless a man's heart is true, Gwendolyn is destined to be coveted for her crown, but despised for her face...To make matters worse, her ailing father is desperate for an alliance with Brutus of Loegria. Offered to Brutus's ambitious son, Locrinus, Gwendolyn's heart is tempted by a mysterious half-blood Fae whom she can never wed if she is to fulfill her crib side prophecy.If you love British lore and longed to dive headlong into its beginnings...If you hoped to meet the tribe of the gods who left their mark upon the British Isles...If you're ready to embark on a magical journey into the dawn of Britain...Part 1 of an exciting, new fantasy series.Tanya Anne Crosby created a world I never want to leave.

Utterly brilliant. — USA Today Bestselling Author Kathryn Le VequeA breathtaking true tale with a touch of Celtic magic, brought to life by a soul-stirring storyteller. — New York Times Bestselling Author Glynnis CampbellThe Cornish Princess is not simply a romantic fantasy. There is nothing simple about it. The characters are complex and do not divulge their thoughts or purpose easily. Crosby has created a balanced, multifaceted genre, one where history's battle cry is tangible while fingers of fable and fantasy pull and tug the unwary. — Whiskey & Wit Book ReviewsExquisite, lyrical, powerful, and haunting, The Cornish Princess is a heroine for the ages.
