Synopsis: 1126. Heulwen, daughter of Welsh Marcher baron Guyon FitzMiles, has grown up with her father's ward, Adam de Lacey. There has always been a spark between them, but when Heulwen marries elsewhere, to Ralf le Chevalier, a devastated Adam absents himself on various diplomatic missions for King Henry I. When Ralf is killed in a skirmish, Heulwen's father considers a new marriage for her with his neighbour's son, Warrin de Mortimer. Adam, recently returned to England, has good reason to loathe Warrin and is determined not to lose Heulwen a second time. But Heulwen is torn between her duty to her father and the pull of her heart. Adam is no longer the awkward boy she remembers, but a man who stirs every fibre of her being - which places them both in great danger, because Warrin de Mortimer is not a man to be crossed and the future of a country is at stake ...
My reviews of Chadwick novels: The Marsh King's Daughter | The Time of Singing | A Place Beyond Courage
What a lovely cover :D
ReplyDeleteI should re-read it, I just wished I had it in English
I like this cover much better than the early 90's paperback I have :)
ReplyDeleteI have never read it. Looks like a good read. Thanks for the recommendation.

ReplyDeleteI've got this one on my order list for November. I read The Wild Hunt when it was re-released with new cover and a makeover & enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteBut then I'm a tad biased about Elizabeth Chadwick, love her work!!
I never read this one. This is why I love re-issues. Some of the older covers are kind of silly too. This looks beautiful. thanks for the review.
