PROMISE (DAUGHTER OF ARDEN BOOK 3)

PROMISE (DAUGHTER OF ARDEN BOOK 3) by Loren G. Warnemuende

Loren Warnemuende's continuation of the retelling of Grimm's Fairy Tale "Maid Maleen" doesn't disappoint. Of the three books in the series, Promise was hands down my favorite!

After exiting the tower she was placed in for safekeeping, Maid Maleen has found her beloved country, Arden, destroyed by war. Forced to grow up and think about her kingdom and not herself, Maleen journeys to Chryssion where she hopes to gather her people that settled there after fleeing from the destructive armies of Pandor. Somehow she must do this without Pandor realizing who she is as the Prince of Pandor, Melanor, is hunting her down. There was a time when Maleen only had eyes for the Pandorian Prince, but now his true intentions have been revealed. What a shock it is to Maleen when she realizes her heart belongs to Prince Jared, the very Prince she shunned years ago, who has proven himself over and over as a trustworthy and honorable prince. The only problem? He's now betrothed to someone else. Despite all the overwhelming problems, Maleen's eyes are focused on The Mighty One, and she knows that in the middle of the confusion and turmoil, He alone has the perfect plan! The Daughter of Arden is a well-told, squeaky clean coming of age story. It is a beautiful story, but not for the faint of heart as Book 3 alone has 680 pages.
