Lady of the Knight: A Dark Enemies To Lovers Knight Romance (The Faerie Queene Revisited: Dark Romantasy Fever Dreams) by Madchen Angell

A female knight enters a brutal tournament circuit in disguise—and rises fast enough to attract the one undefeated warrior she’s determined to defeat. Britomart of Gwynhoiarn has no choice. Her family’s keep is drowning in debt. Her people are starving. And the only way to save them is the one thing she refuses— marriage. So she cuts her hair, binds her body, and rides out as a knight, entering a brutal tournament circuit where men kill for coin—and no one looks too closely at a stranger in armor. She’ll win the gold. She’ll take it home. And no one will ever know what she is. Until Artegall. Undefeated. Controlled. Dangerous in ways that have nothing to do with his sword. The kind of man who sees too much—and never forgets. The kind of man she can’t afford to want. But from the moment they clash in the lists, something begins to unravel. A rivalry that turns vicious. A desire she didn’t choose. A connection that feels less like chance—and more like fate. And a secret that will get her killed if he ever speaks it aloud. As the tournaments grow deadlier—and something ancient begins hunting them beyond the field—Britomart is forced into a fight she cannot win alone. Because the man who could destroy her…is the only one who stays when everything else falls apart. And when her home is taken, her people scattered, and she’s forced back into the life she tried to escape—Britomart must decide: Will she become the woman the world demands…or the knight she fought to be? Even if choosing wrong costs her everything. Read more
