The Noble Servant
A Medieval Fairy Tale book 3
by Melanie Dickerson
-From Amazon- She lost everything to the scheme of an evil servant. But she might just gain what she’s always wanted . . . if she makes it in time. The impossible was happening. She, Magdalen of Mallin, was to marry the Duke of Wolfberg. Magdalen had dreamed about receiving a proposal ever since she met the duke two years ago. Such a marriage was the only way she could save her people from starvation. But why would a handsome, wealthy duke want to marry her, a poor baron’s daughter? It seemed too good to be true. On the journey to Wolfberg Castle, Magdalen’s servant forces her to trade places and become her servant, threatening not only Magdalen’s life, but the lives of those she holds dear. Stripped of her identity and title in Wolfberg, where no one knows her, Magdalen is sentenced to tend geese while she watches her former handmaiden gain all Magdalen had ever dreamed of. When a handsome shepherd befriends her, Magdalen begins to suspect he carries secrets of his own. Together, Magdalen and the shepherd uncover a sinister plot against Wolfberg and the duke. But with no resources, will they be able to find the answers, the hiding places, and the forces they need in time to save both Mallin and Wolfberg?

Did I love The Noble Servant? Yes! Yes! Yes! The author has such a wonderful way of storytelling, with an absolutely exquisite attention to detail, that you feel completely immersed in the era and the within the story. Magdalen and Stefan quickly became friends, friends that I rooted for, friends that I gasped on their behalf as they faced each new peril, and definitely friends that I didn't want to say goodbye to on that last page.
The Noble Servant is a definite winner in my estimation and a MUST read for any Melanie Dickerson fan. If you love historical novels rich in detail, with plenty of adventure, romance, and danger, The Noble Servant just might be for you.
