1217 A. D. – Executioner Knight Kevin de Lara finally has his moment to shine.
Kevin breaks out from under his powerful brother's shadow (Sean de Lara from Lord of the Shadows) and becomes a great knight on his own. But there's just one problem... the woman he loves may very well cause his downfall...
Kevin breaks out from under his powerful brother's shadow (Sean de Lara from Lord of the Shadows) and becomes a great knight on his own. But there's just one problem... the woman he loves may very well cause his downfall...
Since reconciling with his brother, Kevin has become a powerful garrison commander along the Welsh marches for the de Lara empire. As an agent of William Marshal, his directive is to keep the local Welsh barons under control at all costs, and Kevin becomes a diplomat.
But the Welsh lords only tell him what he wants to hear. Secretly, they are planning a rebellion to gain back de Lara properties they believe belong to the Welsh.
Juliandra ferch Gethin is a daughter of two worlds – a Welsh father, an English mother.
Juliandra’s father has committed an offense against the de Lara empire and has consequently been jailed. When Juliandra disguises herself as a servant and sneaks into the castle to free her father, she can’t get past Kevin. When he discovers her true identity, he formulates a plan to marry her simply to keep her father and his allies under control. It’s a tactic and nothing more.
Or so he thinks.
Sometimes the arrogance of a man is only exceeded by his love for a woman.
Join Kevin and Juliandra on their journey of rebellion, redemption, and the realization of a love that cannot be denied. Kevin married Juliandra to control the Welsh, but it’s very possible that she may be the one controlling the English… through him.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kevin de Lara is now a commander in his own right. He has three castles on the Welsh marches and has just taken control of one just inside Wales. The locals are not happy to have an Englishman around especially when he costs them money. Our hero is an emotional and extremely honourable man. Years of working for the devious William Marshall have made a mark on him that he struggles with.
Juliandra ferch Gethin is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Our heroine is a strong woman, used to having control of her own life. When she finds herself in a predicament she knows there are ways to solve it.
A man with a powerful obsession and access to an army can cause a lot of dangerous problems.
Our author certainly knows how to put our emotions on a rollercoaster. Before you pick up this book make sure you have nothing else to do, because you will not be able to put it down. You will need tissues. You will meet many old friends from other books and one naughty young Squire with a big future. I now want to see what he gets up to next.
I absolutely love all of this author's work. The characters always have such depth you want to know about every aspect of their lives.
I loved every page.
