Heart of the Knight by Clara Devon

To win his heart, she must first survive the game.

Book 1: The Squire’s Game
In a world ruled by steel and shadow, Elowen dares the impossible: to stand beside the knight she admires—by becoming his squire. But the path to his side is guarded by more than skill. It demands disguise, courage, and a secret that could shatter everything.

Disguised as a boy, Elowen navigates the brutal trials of the squire’s game—where every challenge could expose her true self and cost her everything she’s fought for. As danger lurks in the shadows of the castle and trust is a weapon as sharp as any blade, Elowen must fight not only to survive but to be seen.

With a knight’s honor at stake and a forbidden bond growing between them, Elowen’s greatest battle is yet to come. Because some truths are worth risking everything for—and some loves are worth fighting for, even when the game is rigged.

Book Two: Shield and Shadow
Her secret saved his life. Exposing it might destroy them both.

She rides at his side. She bleeds for his cause. But he doesn’t know who she truly is.

Disguised as the squire “Eli,” Elowen has earned a place beside Sir Ciran—the knight she loves, the man she must protect at all costs. As political tensions ignite at Denvyn Cross and whispers of treachery turn to open threat, Elowen’s secret life becomes a dangerous game of shadows.

She uncovers a plot to assassinate Ciran… and saves him more than once without revealing herself. But every act of loyalty draws her closer to the moment when the truth must surface—and when it does, it shatters everything.

Exposed before the court. Cast out by the man she trusted. Yet in the silence that follows, something deeper remains—something forged not by truth alone, but by fire, sacrifice, and the quiet power of what cannot be undone.

Loyalty. Longing. And love that defies the blade. This is Shield and Shadow—a tale of stolen identity, tested bonds, and the courage to stand unmasked when it matters most.

Book 3: The Queen’s Oath
They are no longer master and squire. Not soldier and lie. Not shadow and shield. Elowen rides beside Sir Ciran now—as herself.

But the cost of truth is steep. At Queen Avelyne’s fractured court, whispers of sorcery, betrayal, and rebellion twist through stone halls. When poison strikes the crown and enemies gather in plain sight, Elowen is called not to serve—but to lead.

From the firelit ruins of an ancient abbey to the splendor of a midsummer feast, from a blade drawn in love to a secret that could break everything open—Elowen must risk not only her name, but her heart.

This is the story of a scar that becomes a vow.
Of a lie that becomes a legacy.
Of a girl who becomes a knight—by becoming no one but herself.

The Queen’s Oath is a triumphant, slow-burning conclusion to the Heart of the Knight trilogy—a tale of courage, loyalty, and a love that endures the truth.
