The Champion: A Must-Read Medieval Romance by Sherrilyn Kenyon

I am thrilled that Sherrilyn Kenyon is rereleasing the Brotherhood of the Sword series under this name. I read this when I was younger and enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than when it first came out under her pseudonym, Kinley MacGregor.

The Champion is well-crafted, filled with intrigue as well as romance. Rowena and Stryder’s story is heartfelt and compelling. And the plot? Well, it swept me away so much that I downloaded it to my phone, my computer, and my Kindle so I could sneak in “one more chapter” any time I wanted.

Although this is the 5th book of The Brotherhood of the Sword, it stands well on its own. (Although I highly recommend reading the entire series.)

Fearless men, their allegiance is to one another, to the oppressed, and to the secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Sword.

Rowena knows what Stryder of Blackmoor is: a warrior, and therefore a man to be shunned. Yet something burns in the eyes of this powerful knight that she has never seen in others of his kind—tenderness, intelligence, understanding. To enter his world would be madness, and a betrayal of every principle by which she has lived.

Duty bound to fight for what is right, Stryder has never wanted home or hearth—not until he laid eyes on the incomparable Rowena, if only he could find some way to blunt her barbs. But when treachery and danger close in, the noble knight must stand as champion to a woman who cannot abide him, though it may cost him his honor and his soul.

Perfect for readers who love:
– Medieval romance and secret warrior brotherhoods
– A hardened knight and a peace-loving lady
– Sweeping, sensual, danger-shadowed historical romance
– Duty, honor, and a love that defies principle

Previously published under her alter ego Kinley MacGregor, these beloved medieval romances from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon return—retitled, refreshed, and restored to the author’s original vision.
