Welcome to Litsy!

Mackenna Sparrow was brought to the palace as a newborn. She was to grow up as a companion to the Princess Alina. Now, that Alina is engaged Mackenna is no longer needed and is sent away from the only life that she has ever known. Now, she must adjust to living as a commoner. The love and compassion of Mackenna shines through her every move. The way the Prince treats her is so sweet.

I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.

Such a surprising and delightful debut novel from Hannah Currie! Yes, there is definitely an ethereal romantic element of a country named Peverell ruled by a monarchy and the dazzle and glamour of royalty, but the book is so much more than another sweet YA prince-falls-in-love-with-a-commoner trope. There is a certain layer of politics and intrigue and faith woven into the storyline that is refreshing and fascinating. A fun YA fiction!

Frankly, more books like this – stories filled with hope, light and the reminder that God loves you – need to be face-out on the shelves in the Young Adult section of bookstores and libraries.

I absolutely recommend this book! I‘m so glad I read it! Heart of a Royal is a solid debut novel. I can‘t wait for more from Hannah Currie!
