The Lady and the Fool — Kristen D. Randle

When young Thomas falls afoul of his hot-tempered Lord, the beautiful Lady Avvin seizes the opportunity to corral her minions and drag them off on a mad-cap escape. Flaunting tradition and probably good sense, she leads her motley crew off on a journey of mayhem and mystery -- straight through to the very heart of magic. The adventure is nearly enough to break the sanity of poor practical-minded Giddy. But who can fight magic? Plenty of broad shoulders and broken hearted villains in this one -- love gone awry, honor in peril. Will Avvin save Thomas? Can anyone? And will all end happily ever after? For certainly, in the end, Avvin gets more than she ever bargained for. Or does she? Written by Kristen D. Randle, author of The Only Alien on the Planet and other nationally acclaimed books, this is a wild, romantic tale, suitable for a May morning or a golden October afternoon.
