The King's Niece (The Venturous Tales) Kindle Edition
Robbie is the king's niece, but she has never met her uncle. In fact, she's forbidden from leaving the eastern lands of Penrith to journey to the west where the royal palace is. Until, that is, her cousin and best friend Margo, the king's daughter Princess Margaret Rose, asks her to. The two had spent the last six years together at convent school, and now that Margo was of age to marry and was called to return to the palace, she wanted Robbie with her. Neither of the two young women have any idea of the threats that lay over Margo's head from the notorious Maulds people, whose chieftan wants her throne.

Review
The King's Niece is a work of medieval-style fantasy written in novella format and penned by author Isabella Berdyna Zysk. Set in Castle Penrith, a name inspired by the historical setting of Cumbria, this pseudo-historical tale recounts the exploits of kings of neighboring lands, as told through the eyes of their younger generation. As the renegade Maulds seek to destroy the relationships between the kings and take those lands for themselves, we meet a young woman called Robbie who has never set foot outside her lands in the east of Penrith. But when Margo, her dearest friend and the king's daughter, demands that Robbie should accompany her as she heads towards marriage, Robbie sets off on a journey of discovery like no other.
Author Isabella Berdyna Zysk has created a truly engaging and page-turning novella that can be read and enjoyed on a cozy afternoon. The medieval atmosphere of the piece can be found in lively description and engaging imagery of warriors and kings in the age of chivalry. This, however, does not overwhelm the story but complements a heartfelt and emotional tale which is much more about the bond between Margo and Robbie than anything that the cruel world throws at them. The dialogue is accessible but not overly modern, and the description and close narration of Robbie, in particular, gives us a deep connection to her feelings and experiences. Overall, The King's Niece is a wonderful slice of medieval life and interpersonal drama that is certain to please fans everywhere.
