This is a reimagined fairy tale, loosely based on The Little Mermaid.
Evangeline is the King's ward and illegitimate cousin and has lived a very sheltered and nonexistent life inside the castle walls. She dreams of being amongst the peasants she watches from her window, longing for the freedom they have to choose. When King Richard tries to force her into a terrible marriage, she runs away and meets up with Westley. Westley is the son and heir of the Lord of Glynval. Evangeline pretends to be mute so no one can her her voice or realize her ignorance. But do you need words to fall in love?
This was a fast and easy read. I liked how it took parts of The Little Mermaid, but didn't try to stick to close to the story. All of the good guys were likable and all of the villains were horrid. The only one I questioned was the king. I wasn't sure on which side of the fence he would fall. Overall, this was a sweet, clean, romantic historical novel. Perfect for an easy reading type of day.
