or showing Wolfgang up in embarrassing ways. When they arrive, Wolfgang is exasperated by the young soldier Mikolai who seems to either always be one step away from disaster.

Mulan is trying to resign herself to marrying the village butcher for the good of her family, but her adventurous spirit just can’t stand the thought. But what happens when the handsome son of a duke discovers her secret? Mulan isn’t afraid to pretend to be a son and assume her father’s soldier duties in war. Discover castles, battles, beliefs, and injustices alongside Wolfgang and Mulan. Praise for The Warrior Maiden: “In this fantastic retelling, Dickerson brings to life a completely new aspect of the medieval era. Can she be the son her bitter father never had? Or will she become the strong young woman she was created to be? This fresh twist on the classic tale takes us to fifteenth-century Lithuania where both love and war challenge the strongest of heroes. When Mulan receives word of danger back home, she must make the ultimate choice. But war is an uncertain time and dreams can die as quickly as they are born. From rivals to reluctant friends, Mulan and Wolfgang begin to share secrets.

Wolfgang is exasperated by the new soldier who always seems to be one step away from disaster-or showing him up in embarrassing ways. Disguised as a young man, Mulan meets the German duke’s son, Wolfgang, who is determined to save his people even if it means fighting against his own brother. If she can’t prove herself on the battlefield, she could face death-or, perhaps worse, marriage to the village butcher. As the adopted daughter of poor parents, Mulan has little power in the world. When Mulan takes her father’s place in battle against the besieging Teutonic Knights, she realizes she has been preparing for this journey her whole life-and that her life, and her mother’s, depends on her success.

Can she manage to stay alive, save her mother, and keep the handsome son of a duke from discovering her secret? The Warrior Maiden is a reimagining of the classic Mulan tale in medieval Europe.
