He leaves his homeland, the Kingdom of Corby, to start a profession so he can return one day to marry her when she's of age. He's captured by slave dealers and sold, eventually, to the king of another kingdom. Ten years after he was enslaved, he has the opportunity to return to Corby, but only if he promises to return. At first, thinking that Denisa is now betrothed to another, Karsten decides not to let her know his true identity. Yet the two of them are drawn to each other. Will love eventually find its way?

REVIEW

The sweet queen of indie romance novellas has returned wooing us with Denisa, The Castellan’s Daughter. Henry takes us on an enigmatic journey of romance in this tale.

What would you do if you were betrothed to a man you've never met, but were told fondly about only to have him vanish? That is still one-day mysterious handsome emissary comes from a faraway land delivering news your betrothed is alive but is a slave thus saying you are free to marry another. Yet you’ve dreamed of meeting him come to have affection for him! Yes, this emissary guy is nice too, and he is flirting with you.  Next only, to find out the sexy emissary and your betrothed is one in the same! Left some details out, but that sums this sweeping romance it up.

Again, Henry never fails with her poetic Austen writing style and strong women characters. Denisa is the perfection of her time all prim and proper unless you cross her then she will flat out poetically tell you like it is not caring who you are. My favorite part is where Denisa reams Karsten when she discovers his dual identity.

Denisa, the Castellan’s Daughter is an engrossing sweet romantic novella perfect for the busy person who loves books.
