玛丽和爱德华爵士

傳奇未必誕生於城堡之中，有時，它始於泥土之間。

十二歲的瑪麗早已習慣了維持家中農場生計的繁重勞動。父親遠赴前線為國王徵戰，她的生活便是在辛勤勞作與堅韌磨礪中循環往復--直到一位名叫愛德華爵士（Sir Edward of Kare）的負傷騎士倒在了她家的玉米地裡，並帶來了一個足以改變一切的秘密。

愛德華身負一則能粉碎叛徒陰謀的重要訊息，但他已虛弱得無法動彈，而追兵正步步逼近。當冷酷無情的士兵闖入農場時，瑪麗既無利劍也無軍隊，唯有敏銳的機智和一把鐵鋤。為了拯救騎士與家園，她必須在戰火陰影吞噬一切之前，上演一場充滿危險的智謀博弈。在這部《希拉蕊與愛德華爵士》（Hillary and Sir Edward）的前傳故事中，見證一位拒絕退縮的少女如何成為拯救王權的星星之火。

A legacy is not always born in a castle. Sometimes, it begins in the dirt.

Twelve-year-old Mary is used to the heavy work of keeping her family's farm alive. With her father away at the King's wars, life is a cycle of hard work and grit-until a wounded knight named Sir Edward of Kare collapses in her cornrows with a secret that could change everything.

Edward is carrying a message that can stop a traitor's plot, but he's too weak to move, and his enemies are closing in. When ruthless soldiers arrive at the farm, Mary has no sword and no army-only her sharp wits and her iron hoe. To save the knight and her home, she must pull off a dangerous deception before the shadow of the war swallows them all. In this prequel to Hillary and Sir Edward, discover how a girl who refused to run became the spark that saved a throne.
