About the Book

Releasing August 13, 2019

A fierce elite guard. A loyal lady in waiting. They must work together to save three princesses from certain death.

On the verge of dying after giving birth to twins, the queen of Mercia pleads with Lady Felicia to save her infant daughters. With the castle overrun by King Ethelwulf’s invading army, Lady Felicia vows to do whatever she can to take the newborn princesses and their three-year old sister to safety, even though it means sacrificing everything she holds dear, possibly her own life.

Gravely wounded in battle and knowing all is lost to his enemy, the king of Mercia tasks Lance, one of his fiercest elite guards, to protect his family along with keys to an ancient treasure. As Lance makes plans to sneak the princesses out of the capital city, he doesn’t need or want Lady Felicia’s help.

With the dark enemy in pursuit, Lance and Felicia must put aside their differences to outrun King Ethelwulf and prevent him from killing the princesses. In a desperate attempt to hide the young girls, Lance and Felicia agree to a marriage of convenience, a decision that will change their lives—and hearts—forever.


Reviews for Always

  • Edward: This novella is the opening salvo to a new series that clearly will be filled with much excitement and many challenges.
  • Andrea: What an exciting adventure! The non-stop action had me on the edge of my seat reading as fast as I could. 
  • Susan: Jody Hedlund totally shines in her medieval offerings. It is my favorite time period to read and she is amazing at it. I loved every single minute of this one. Highly recommended.
  • Heidi: This is a great novella for introducing us to the backstory of the three lost princesses in Jody Hedlund’s exciting new YA series! The reader is thrust into the action which never slows down
  • Deanne: This is the first young adult novel I’ve read by this author and I can see I’ve been missing out. Geared toward teens, as an adult I enjoyed it a lot myself and I also enjoyed that it was a clean read.
  • Elisabeth: This young adult novella is a stunning historical fiction fairytale filled with elements of adventure, faith, romance and intrigue. Beautifully written in the first person perspectives of the two main characters, this novella is incredibly engaging and exciting.
