Books like The Night Dance (Once Upon a Time) by Suzanne Weyn
Rowena, the youngest of twelve sisters, is fascinated by the enchanting forest that surrounds her castle and takes to dancing there each night. Her secret rendezvous unintentionally draws her sisters, and the brothers-in-law begin a hunt for the hidden girls, cracking down on the mysterious tattered slippers seen each morning. The tension escalates when a challenge is posted to all suitors: the first man to discover where the sisters have been may marry the one he chooses.
Meanwhile, a young knight named Bedivere is tasked with returning the legendary sword Excalibur to a hidden lake. During his quest he encounters Rowena, and a romance ignites. Knowing that only by accepting Sir Ethan’s challenge can he stay with Rowena, Bedivere and the girls find themselves embroiled in danger as they fight for both love and survival.
