Dauntless is a bit of a Robin Hood retelling with a twist. Lady Merry Ellison is an outlaw, because her
father plotted against King John. Her and the other village children are the only survivors of the king's revenge.
Merry only goal is to protect the children in her care even though she is still
a child herself.
At one point she was a
noblewoman with dreams for the future, now she is just trying to survive as an
outlaw. Timothy Grey has orders from his overlord to find the ghosts and bring
them to justice. He's in for the surprise of his life when he discovers who the
leader of the ghost's is. He is the youngest son of a nobleman who's dreams of
a future died when the woman he'd loved died. Or so he thought.
Dauntless is book full of surprises twist and turns. But that
what's makes it such a great read, and I for one cannot wait to read the next
book in the series. I love a book with
strong warrior women who still know that they need help. Young adult books as well as adult books need
more of this type of heroines like Merry. So I am glad that Dina has at least
two more books coming out in this series.
