Fortress of Snow, by Melanie Dickerson, opens with Mazelina of Wexcombe entering her Father’s room just moments before his death. With both of her parents gone, she does not know which way to turn. Now, Mazy is at the whims of the new baron. Her own half-brother, Warin. When Warin begins making plans to marry Mazy off to the highest bidder, Mazy makes plans of her own to track down her brother John, who is training to be a knight!
Mazy is excited to see her brother when she finally arrives at the Strachleigh Castle, the estate where her brother has been living. She quickly meets Sir Berenger, the man in charge of John’s training. This man seems more open to her arrival than her own brother. After Mazy learns that her stepbrother Warin has disowned her, she also learns that her own brother John wishes she had never come. Mazy is truly on her own!
When Sir Berenger leaves with a group of knights to fight a battle in a land far, far away, Mazy finds herself moving to London with her brother. She has always dreamed of visiting this place; however, outside of the beauty of the cathedrals, Mazy finds London very dirty and quite unsafe!
As a means of earning money, Mazy begins baking bread that she can sell. However, she wonders if the days of calm and safety she had experienced with Sir Berenger would ever come again. Two years later, you will be surprised when Sir Berenger crosses paths with Mazy on the streets of London. Hold tight to see what happens next!
