It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line.

On Monday, New Zealand will commemorate the first King’s Birthday holiday most people can remember. So I thought this week it would be fitting to read a novel featuring royalty … So I’ve searched through my books and found Bring Her Home, a medieval Christian royalty romance by Australian author Hannah Currie.

Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

About Bring Her Home

Since the morning he woke to find his precious daughter gone with only the remains of their latest argument left behind, King Lior has been praying she’d come home. For four years now, he’s prayed and searched, sending his best knights to find Evangeline, only to hear nothing. Until the day their missive arrives with three words: we’ve found her. He sends one right back with orders to bring her home.

But that order isn’t easily achieved. Evangeline, now a lowly servant, has no plans to return. Though the knights claim her father still loves her, she knows the truth: he’d cast her aside as quickly as everyone else if he knew how far she’d truly fallen. She can’t go home. Not with her scars. Or her failures. Or her son.

Only, the knights won’t leave without her. And just as she starts to wonder if maybe they might be right, the choice is taken from her altogether.

Sir Darrek thought the hardest part of his quest would be finding Evangeline. He had no idea how difficult it would be to get her home.
