The Shattered Truce

By Donna Brown

With a setting inspired by ancient Britain, this is a tale of lives torn apart by feuding, with a fantasy twist.

"In that last light, "...Fran searched the far horizon, imagining the vast ocean told of in stories, but amid the blasting wind, he saw only the sun's fiery glow, and then they slowed, and the dragon set down on the hillside above the lake."

The settlement of March is a lonely backwater that makes up its own laws and serves out its own justice. For a generation, peace has rested on the edge of a sword blade. The sword in question hangs on the wall of the tiny house where Fran lives with his mother. But after Elsa, the girl Fran loves, is promised to the son of the chief, that fragile peace shatters into a million pieces. Falsely accused of injuring his rival, Fran's back is against the wall. Fight he must, but he needs to learn how to handle the sword ... and fast.

Clean fantasy with some fighting, some tea drinking and the occasional dragon.
