I received a copy of this book from the author, all opinions, however, are my own. I cannot wait for more books in this series and to get to the bottom of what this bleeding curse is about. Both the characters were amazing, naturally Gunnar/Gawain was my favorite but that's a given. The plot was really great, kept me guessing and I'll never grow tired of just how Norse inspired this story world is (we've got some jottun in this one). Okay Imma stop talking now before I convince myself to start writing a book exclusively about Gawain 🤣 (one of these days though.). He's the hero we both need and deserve 😌

Actually, every Arthurian story should star Gawain. Every retelling of King Arthur should have a Gawain. He's my favorite figure from Arthurian stories period. I don't know how many of you know this, but Gawain is my absolute favorite Knight of the Round Table. I read it in just two days (and if you guys are familiar with my reading speed you know that's a feat 😅).

But then I didn't expect otherwise from Gawain's *cough* I mean Gunnar's story. But as they venture into the perilous Hardanger Forest and battle to survive, will Gunnar realize her love is worth fighting for? The real story of the Holy Grail. As Gunnar reunites with Mikaela, the maiden he’s always loved, he tries to keep his feelings for her a secret, desperate to protect her from his brother. His quest takes him home, and he soon learns his brother, the earl, may know more about the chalice than he lets on. As one of the Knights of Brethren, Gunnar is on a mission to find the sacred chalice for the queen, convinced it’s the cure for her deadly bleeding disease. Nursemaid to the Earl of Likness’s two young daughters, Mikaela despises the earl for his cruelty to his subjects, and she longs for the day when she can make a difference in the lives of her suffering friends and family.

ENSNARED A poor maidservant struggling to survive, a brave knight who secretly loves her, and a chalice that has the power to unite them.
