Her castle under siege by an evil knight who keeps beheading all her would-be rescuers, Lady Lynet sets out for help and finds assistance from an odd dwarf named Roger and a scruffy kitchen hand named Beaumains.

As the three unlikely companions return to Lynet’s castle, they face surprising adventures, including encounters with the uncanny Squire Terence, his master, Sir Gawain, and the majestic sorceress Morgan. And somewhere along the way, Lynet discovers that people can be much more than they seem.

The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf by Gerald Morris
5 out of 5 stars

The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf Book Three in The Squires Tales Series by Gerald Morris was a magical tale.

Lady Lynet has set off to find a champion to free her familys castle from the dreadful Knight of the Red Lands. Lynet is disappointed, hurt, and angered when instead of a knight she is given a lowly kitchen hand named Beaumains. During her escapade she meets and befriends a dwarf, learns of her magical heritage, and encounters a very colorful group of knights.

The entwining of romances, vows, pasts, and secrets were done with a rough-edged elegance that meshed well with this witty novel.

The quick mouthed lady, the acceptive and grumpy dwarf, and the daft kitchen hand join prior characters smoothly. Already on page twenty, you already feel like you have known them forever, or at least you wish you had.

The book is deeper than meets the eye. Each character, each scene, and each chapter is full of morals. Each character has a moment when he/she experiences shame, respect, guilt, and love. Each quirky character grows emotionally mature and gains knowledge on this life changing journey.

Drenched in humor and action, The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf is a satisfying fill that leaves you smiling at its aftertaste.
