**Mazy dreams of independence. Sir Berenger longs to play the hero. But in each other, they may find the secret to happily ever after.**
Mazelina of Wexcombe has always dreamed of traveling with her father to lands beyond the confining walls of their castle. But his sudden death deprives her of the future she imagined. Abandoned by her eldest brother, Mazy is soon forced to seek help from her beloved brother Sir John at the great estate of Strachleigh.
Her visit leads to a friendship with the dashing and noble Sir Berenger of Dericott. He has notions of rescuing a damsel in distress. But Mazy is brave enough to defend herself-and has proven that her skills in archery and knife throwing rival that of a knight's. So when he is called away to Prussian lands, Sir Berenger looks to distinguish himself in battle.
When Sir Berenger returns, he and Mazy meet again on the streets of London, where she is making a living selling goods in the market. Meanwhile, he has been summoned by the king to receive a reward for his service. But the recognition comes with a price: He must marry a wealthy, titled widow to please the king. But when Mazy begins to suspect treachery, she embarks on a journey to the fortress of snow to warn the brave knight-and secure her own fairy-tale ending.

Another enjoyable read in the series
I enjoyed reading the next instalment of the Derricott series, however, I must say this title wasn't as action packed as the preceding ones, although they would have been hard to top. I did enjoy the character of Mazy, who is very industrious and forward thinking for the time. This is definitely a """"girl power"""" story, as this """"knife girl"""" is definitely able to fend for herself and does not need a prince charming to carry her away on a white horse. However, it is lovely that she does get her happy ending with her handsome """"prince"""" in the end. \\nIt is a little disappointing to see that once again, the king does seem to be easily manipulated by an evil woman. But, I would imagine that there was, and still is, a lot of corruption in higher circles. \\nDefinitely worth reading!

Not as good as previous titles in this series
Though not as good as previous in this series, still entertaining and better than watching TV. A lovely main character and valiant love interest. There were some loose ends that I would have like to know about.
