The Roses of Haye by Andrew Verrett

Somewhere, in the back of our minds, we each harbor fond memories of fairy tales and happily ever after story endings. The magic of chivalry and prince charmings filled many a little girl's dreams with wedding day fantasies. And little boys thrilled to the possibility of being that daring young hero who thwarts the sinister villain and saves his kingdom. And yes, wouldn’t it be nice if we could return, just for a moment, to those carefree days of yore?

First-time author Andrew Verrett grants us this wish with his new novel, The Roses of Haye. Written in rhyming couplets, its metered verse flows with a lyrical quality reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe and the beloved Mother Goose herself. Yet, The Roses of Haye has a decidedly grown-up flavor. Spanning three generations of a royal family, it thrills readers with its swashbuckling swordsmanship and evil villains, like the dastardly Master Clews.

At its very core, The Roses of Haye is a simple love story, where honesty triumphs over evil and the good guy finishes first! Harry and Gaye, Prince Gunter and Lynn - their stories will tap at your heart and bring tears to your eyes. Pick up a copy today and return to those feel-good days of yesteryear.
