As Told by Isolde: A Mythic Maidens Novella

By C.K. Brooke

"Tristan and Isolde? More like stuff and nonsense..."

At age eighteen, Isolde of Ayrland is expected to master the healing arts and uphold her mother's legacy as a healer, but she's nowhere near ready for the undertaking. Though her mother's always urging her to "trust herself," Isolde doesn't know the first thing about herself worth trusting.

When Isolde heals the wounds of a gallant stranger, little does she know he's actually Trustan, nephew of the King of Lyonesse. Trustan's uncle, King Marc, has been suffering a mysterious malady no one's been able to cure. Isolde makes the voyage to the Isle of Lyonesse only to meet a prickly king who doubts her almost as much as she doubts herself. To make matters worse, whatever afflicts him is unlike anything she's ever encountered-and completely impervious to her powers.

As castle intrigue and rumors abound, Marc and Trustan begin to confide in Isolde. She's only there to do her job-not to befriend anyone, and certainly not to fall in love. But as danger looms and no one is who he appears to be, Isolde must decide whom to trust. Only, what if her own heart is the most deceptive one of all?
