Summary
Laura Kinsale Presents…an intense and haunting historical romance by talented new author Elizabeth Kingston. The sword-wielding daughter of a Welsh rebel crosses weapons with King Edward's favorite killer.
Ranulf Ombrier is notorious throughout England for his skill at swordplay and murderous reputation. But after years of doing his king's bidding, he follows his conscience away from Edward, all the way to the wilds of Wales. Gwenllian of Ruardean, Welsh daughter of a powerful Marcher lord, has every reason to leave Ranulf for dead when one of her men nearly kills him. As a girl she was married by proxy to a man Ranulf murdered, only to become a widow before she ever met her groom. In the years since, she has shunned the life of a lady, instead studying warfare and combat at her mother's behest.
Saving her enemy's life comes with consequences, and Gwenllian and Ranulf are soon caught up in dangerous intrigue. Forced together, they discover a kinship of spirit and a surprising, intense desire. But even hard-won love cannot thrive when loyalties are divided and the winds of rebellion sweep the land.

The poetry of love ... contained in the prose
These characters jump out of this wonderful story and one feels that we are close up in a cinematic telling of medieval life. Wonderful.
More please Elizabeth Kingston! The truth spills out of the pages narrated so expertly and brilliantly by Nicholas Boulton.... I wanted to hear it again from the start.

Enjoyed the story
I enjoyed the story but I didn't really like Ranolf. And it was a bit long and drawn out.
Nicholas Boulton is a brilliant narrator. Love listening to his books.

brilliant
On so many levels, this is an excellent book, Ruardean however is not 20 miles from Gloucester through - at he time savage country - but not the depths of Wales.

Engrossing
I only chose to listen to this book as it is narrated by the superb Nicholas Boulton. It is very well written and quite gripping.
