After a nasty skirmish along the England/Scotland border at Bog Wood, a badly wounded knight has crawled off to die. As women from the Clan Scott fan out across the battlefield to collect the spoils of war, one woman breaks off from the pack. She is sickened by the tradition of stealing valuables off the dead and runs off to hide. In her hiding place, however, lingers the badly wounded knight. The young woman is frightened at first but her natural instinct to lend aid takes over. She tends the knight and saves his life. Little does the Lady Jordan Scott know that she has just saved the life of the dreaded English knight known to her people as The Wolf….
Several months later, peace is proposed along the border. An English groom is offered to a Scots bride. The Lady Jordan Scott is that bride and her groom is the aged and powerful Earl of Teviot, John de Longley. When Lord de Longley sends his mighty and hated army to collect his new bride, the captain of the army personally retrieves Lady Jordan. When Jordan looks upon the fearsome English knight, she realizes there is something oddly familiar about his voice. When the man finally reveals himself, she sees that it is none other than the man whose life she saved. Sir William de Wolfe, the scourge of the Scots, makes his presence known.
William has never forgotten about his Scots angel. One look at the Lady Jordan after all of these months and he is stricken with appreciation and adoration. He has thought of nothing else but the lady since the time she tended his injury and now, his infatuation with her takes flight. As he escorts her back to Northwood Castle to wed his liege, each passing minute sees him fall more and more hopelessly in love with her. Jordan comes to know the man beyond The Wolf of legend, and so the love story begins….
Join William and Jordan in a tale of true and utter devotion, of a love that bleeds beyond the boundaries of Scots and English, and where loyalty, friendship, and family bind them all together in this uncertain and political world. These are the dark days of dark times, but in the midst of a treacherous world of secrets and hatred, William and Jordan share a love that is only dreamt of.
We start this book on the Scottish boarders in the year 1231. There are almost constant skirmishes between the English and the Scots.
William De Wolfe is the man the Scottish have come to dread, but after the latest battle he is lying gravely injured. An angel in the form of a Scottish lass treats his injury instead of finishing him off.
Months later the English King , Henry in an effort to make peace orders one of his Border Earls to take the daughter of the clan chief Laird Scott as his bride.
Jordan is terrified to go to England and live among the people who have always been the enemy, but knows it is for the good of all the boarder clans. The Earl of Teviot is an old widower and has no real desire to marry again, but must obey his King. He sends the Captian of his household The Wolfe to clan Scott to fetch his bride. Once William sees who is to be the new bride to his Lord, a man who is almost a father to him he is torn. He desires Jordan more than any woman but he is a very loyal knight . He can´t bear to betray his Lord.
Although Jordan worries what her life is to be like, she begins to trust The Wolfe will never hurt her.
This is a truly epic book . Some might say it is too long but every page is needed to get the whole of the story. The story is full of emotion and so rich in the history you feel as if you are there. There is much more than one love story here. The secondary characters are very involved in lives of the hero and heroine. So many strong but gentle men and intelligent and strong women.
I have read many of Kathryn´s books and never been disappointed , and I will read many more.
