About the Author

C. Dale Brittain is both an eminent scholar of medieval history and the author of numerous fantasy novels. "Real history can come up with much better plots than anything I could," she quips. An early love of knights and castles was cemented by a family trip to Europe, and reading JRR Tolkien at an impressionable age cemented her love of fantasy.
