This is one of those medieval stories that involves two very complex characters and is filled with emotional and intense moments from start to finish. He is one of those narrators that can suck you in a story and never let you go. Was I ever glad to get it! I have to say that I never got to read it because the narration done by Nicholas Boulton was amazing. REVIEW: Earlier this month this title was free, with audio narration offered at $1.99, and I just couldn’t pass it up. But even hard-won love cannot thrive when loyalties are divided and the winds of rebellion sweep the land. Forced together by political machinations, they discover a kinship of spirit and a surprising, intense desire. Saving her enemy’s life comes with consequences, and Gwenllian and Ranulf are soon caught up in dangerous intrigue. But she has also studied healing and this, with her sense of duty to knightly virtues, leads her to tend to Ranulf’s wounds. In the years since, she has shunned the life of a lady, instead studying warfare and combat at her mother’s behest. As a girl she was married by proxy to a man Ranulf murdered, only to become a widow before she ever met her groom. 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. But after years of doing his king’s bidding, he begins to fear for his mortal soul and follows his conscience away from Edward, all the way to the wilds of Wales. Ranulf’s actions have gained him lands, title, and a lasting reputation as a hired butcher. STORY: Ranulf Ombrier’s fame throughout 13th century England for his skill at swordplay is rivaled only by his notoriety as King Edward I’s favorite killer.
