A dying kingdom. A fugitive queen. And the five knights who will fight to the death to defend them.Lorelai D’Anjou’s life has never been easy.

Now, she flees for her life, a fugitive in her own kingdom as she seeks allies to help her take back her stolen throne.
Thankfully, Lorelai is not without friends. The fierce, dashing knights of the Order of the Regent have always been loyal, and during her darkest hour, they come to her aid. Unfortunately, five knights are not enough to rally a kingdom, especially when assassins are nipping at Lorelai’s heels, and doubt is brewing in the hearts of Valliere’s great houses.
But Lorelai has never been one to give up, and she’s not about to start now. Especially when the alternative is not just death, but the end of the entire world as she knows it…

I love Lorelai D’Anjou, the star in Melle Amade’s Order of the Regent, and how she refuses to give up despite everything thrown at her. She’s lucky (in more ways than one – this is a RH series, after all) to have her five loyal knights of the Order of the Regent backing her. They’re in for a long but exciting path if this thrilling fun first series book is anything to measure by. But it’s going to be a great journey to follow along. As for this first book, I highly recommend it.
I have read the previous edition of this book, and I enjoyed the book no less now.
Queen Lorelai was safe on the throne, until the day her husband died without having the chance to name her the heir and regent, the ruler of Valliere. Now, with his brother Guntram on the throne, Lorelai is forced to escape the palace and with her five knights, the Order of the Regent, determined to stand up against Guntram and fight for the people of her country. However, that is no easy journey, and more surprises are waiting for her than she ever could imagine.
Set up in a fantastic world mixing magic with historical world, gallant knights in shining armor and powerful mages are just a few of the building blocks of this realm. Strategic decisions, machinations of the royal court, and hunger for power are driving forces among the ruling class, with shifting loyalties and unstable support of the nobility. Yet honor, valor, and fierce loyalty among some families are strong and devoted to the queen. Lorelai has gone on a quest not for power, but to protect her country, help the people, and find peace with her own heart – though the latter might prove a really big challenge. With five men competing to win the heart of the widow queen, and her swirling emotions for every one of them, this might be a decision that tips the scales of the fate. Will the queen listen to her heart?
This is a new to me author that I wanted to read because the premise of this story caught my attention. I liked the way Lorelai handled herself and was able to stand on her own. Having her “harem” around her is an added bonus. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of this series, and seeing how the dynamics between all the members of her guard play out. I have my favorite and I hope he gets his HEA/HFN.
Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
